Mexico's court system corrupt.I want nothing to do with Mexico other than to build an impenetrable WALL and stop them from ripping off U.S.

Donald Trump jetted on down to Mexico today, where he took the stage alongside President Enrique Peña Nieto so as to appear presidential himself or something. Well anyway, a lot of people expected some news about the fabled Great Wall of Trump.
They didn’t get it.

From The Washington Examiner:
Donald Trump hopes to work closely with Mexico to secure the Southern border and bring jobs back to both countries if he is elected president in November but did not discuss paying for the wall in his first meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
“We did discuss the wall,” Trump told reporters at a joint press conference with Nieto. “We didn’t discuss payment of the wall. That’ll be for a later date. This was a very preliminary meeting. I think it was an excellent meeting.”
What’s all this business about “a later date”? We thought The Wall was everything! Trump certainly made it seem like everything … guess things have changed?

"Oh, hah. We didn't discuss this thing which is the centerpiece of my immigration policy. It just didn't come up. Hah."

Hmmm …
Confusing why Pena Nieto didn't just rebut Trump during their presser. Would have carried more weight than waiting several hours to respond
