Why did Trump chicken out in Mexico?

Before his well publicized Arizona speech on immigration he went to Mexico but didn't even bring up the issue that "Mexico will pay for the wall." I'm very disappointment and am now wondering if he is just a cowardly bully.

    Because if he had brought that up with the President, he knows that the president would have called him an idiot and told him the butler would take care of him and have gone to bed.

    Trump is not an idiot himself.

    He just plays one on T.V.

    Trump is a sinister kind of politician who likes to take advantage of a crisis to garner power for himself whichever way he can.

    Think about this for a second.

    Trump calls on the federal government to build a wall. Maybe he gets some congressman to propose a bill.

    Or he just decrees he can build the wall on his first day and advisors have to explain to him, that actually, no he can't.

    Trump fires them all...

    Day 2...

    But Trump knows this.

    He's just willing to fly on the wind of many people who don't have a clue.

    Well, Trump IS a cowardly bully. Mexico knows what he said and will hopefully act accordingly. He's a punk who's afraid of having to back up his words. He didn't say it while in MX because he knew that if he did, there'd be major repercussions. Many of his employees are Mexican and many of his items are made in Mexico.

    You Americans DON'T LISTEN. Trump has told you how "Mexico will pay for the wall':

    You concrete thinkers expect the Pres. of Mexico to write out a cheque for $10 BILLION to "Trump Wall"???

    The two counties have a trade imbalance of US$80 BILLION. Negotiate a new trade deal and the US coffers save $70 BILLION, and the other $10 BILLION pays for the wall.

    THAT'S WHY YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS A BUSINESSMAN WHO IS A GREAT NEGOTIATOR.

    Being Americans, with your shoot 'em, nuke "em mentality…

    ...you think Trump should have gone to talk with Mexico for the first time, and take along a sledge hammer to make demands - "or get your kneecaps rearranged, dudes!" ?????

    Trump is not a politician, but he is a negotiator. He starts with an extreme position and then when he sits at the negotiation table he makes deals. It's how he made his money.

    He may not even build a wall, but he will have a more secure border. The position of Obama and Hillary is to ignore all the border rules.

    Why do you think that's the only important issue that Trump wanted to talk about?

    It was planned as a quick trip from the beginning. The President of Mexico simply wanted to meet the next U.S. President.
