Trump's 'alto riesgo' trip to Mexico: Is he being set up by Peña Nieto?

As we told you earlier, Donald Trump will head to Mexico today to meet with President Peña Nieto, but we really don’t know why he’s going. As in, what’s in it for Trump?

Univision’s Jorge Ramos thinks the trip is alto riesgo — high risk — and that Trump could end up getting embarrassed by the very unpopular Nieto:

Alto riesgo: los Mexicanos no le perdonarían a @epn quedarse callado ante Trump. Tiene que exigir disculpa de @realDonaldTrump

Mexican president @epn could ask Trump for an apology for calling Mexicans "rapists", criminals and drug-traffickers. Is Trump ready?

In the past, Nieto compared Trump to Hitler:

In March Peña Nieto compared @realDonaldTrump with Hitler. "That's how Hitler got in" he said. Will he repeat that in front of Trump?

Nieto is very unpopular in Mexico right now. Is Trump walking into a trap where Nieto unloads on the GOP nominee for his domestic audience?

It's a meeting between two of the most unpopular people for Mexicans: Trump and Peña Nieto.

Very unpopular: 66% of Mexicans have a negative opinion of Peña Nieto (Reforma) and 89% of Latinos have a negative opinion of Trump (WaPo)
