Not all coverage was favorable though - as expected. I just compiled some additional headlines from our American News Outlets the Trump HQ failed to list. TM **** NYT Donald Trump Gambles on Immigration but Sends Conflicting Signals

So which is it? Did they dispute the issue of the border wall payment, thus clouding the visit, or did they not discuss it? Trump gave the answer at the joint press conference at the end of the meeting. He stated they did not discuss it but will deal with it later. Now either he is lying or CNN and Reuters are not reporting the facts and are embellishing the story for their own ends. Ask yourself: who is most likely being truthful?

Trump said "We did discuss the wall. We didn't discuss payment of the wall. That'll be for a later date. This was a very preliminary meeting."
Pena Nieto tweeted "At the start of the conversation with Donald Trump I made it clear Mexico would not pay for the wall."
Is a unilateral statement by the Mexican president, assuming it's even true, a "discussion?"
So after all the words of yesterday, THIS is what the "Media" chooses to hang its hat on.

Pathetic and transparent as usual.
The media is hell-bent on presenting Donald Trump in the least favorable light possible.
As Trump begins to operate in his element as a negotiator, all should take note. Each side presented their position but neither side pressed the issue beyond that. A relationship needs to be built, trust established, before the art of negotiating can begin.
The media is so partisan they only report on the lack of a decision being made as a failure. The meeting itself was a victory!!! No intention to seal the deal was ever stated. The media thinks DT went down for a visit, with a contract in hand, and the goal was to get President Neito's signature. Are they crazy??? Yes. They are crazy with hatred for Donald Trump.
I hope and pray the American citizen sees right through this charade of news coverage.
And don't forget, he left the US press behind on this quick trip to Mexico. The press corp consisted of International reporters.

And don't forget the MSM has conveniently stopped reporting how many days Hillary has gone without a press conference.
That's not an issue.
