Incredibly, there's a politician more cosmically stupid than neo- fascist white nationalist Donald "Rump" Trump (and that's him on the right below):

How do you say "D'oh!" in Spanish?
We'll just stick with gusano.
Univision/ Fusion's Jorge Ramos puts it in perspective:
And from the former Mexican ambassador to the U.S.:In simple terms, today's meeting is between 2 of the most despised and hated people by millions of Mexicans on both sides of the border.— JORGE RAMOS (@jorgeramosnews) August 31, 2016
This legitimizes Trump & his xenophobia & sends the message that there is no cost bashing Mexico & Mexican migrantshttps://t.co/NXBLO2bKnj— Arturo Sarukhan (@Arturo_Sarukhan) August 31, 2016
BONUS: Here's more reaction.
UPDATE: Contrary to Rump's assertion that they didn't discuss who would pay for the wall, "Dumber" says he told Rump Mexico won't pay for it. Too bad the coward didn't correct Rump on the spot when he had the chance.

Peña Nieto must be seriously worried that Trump might win the election, and be trying to cozy up to him now to limit the danger to Mexico if that happens.
The Latino journalists' reactions at the Media Matters link are very telling. Of course Trump's trip, like his so-called "outreach to blacks", is mainly intended to make him more palatable to non-racist white voters -- and it might even work. Let's hope that this at least spurs further increases in voter registration among Latinos determined to oppose him. It will be interesting to see how the trip plays in the polls.
Good points. Also, Trump's Arizona speech that followed backtracked to the Real Trump's hardline views on immigration. So, any style points on optics he may have briefly enjoyed should be wiped out by that speech's return to his "deport 'em all" mantra.
