Donald Trump is going to Mexico on Wednesday, and Twitter users can’t stop laughing about it.
The Republican presidential candidate has said Mexican immigrants were “bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” He’s vowed to deport all immigrants who crossed the border without permission, and repeatedly promised to build a wall between the two nations and make Mexico pay for it.
In response, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto compared Trump to Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
Here’s how some on Twitter responded to what’s bound to be an awkward meeting:
Clearly we're not sending our best to Mexico. We're sending liars. We're sending narcissists. We're sending sociopaths.

Trump is visiting Mexico for a few hours tomorrow.

How quickly can that wall be built?

They should revoke his visa while he's there and then deport him. https://t.co/erxV1HnjcP

How great would it be if Trump shows up in Mexico tomorrow to what turns out to be a timeshare sales pitch?

I may fly to Mexico tomorrow! Want to visit the factory where they make my shirts.

Growing up in So Cal., I knew a lot of guys who planned last minute short trips to Mexico. They did not always go as planned.

Hey Mexico, it's Donnie. Your people are rapists and murderers and I'm gonna make you pay to build a wall to keep you out. Can I come over?

A surprise trip to Mexico was really the missing link in the Trumps-as-Bluths comparison

Two words of advice for ya, Mexico, before you let Trump in: extreme. vetting.

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
