What Mexican war had to do with starting Civil War?

After the Mexican war, the South wanted all the new territories like Texas and California to become slave-states. The powerful Abolitionist lobby wanted them all to be free states. This led to the Compromise of 1850, which replaced the successful Missouri Compromise, and which didn't hold. Tensions rose throughout the 1850's and the situation exploded after the victory of the Republican Party in the 1860 election.

Why did Donald Trump visit Mexico?

Trump was invited by Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to improve relations with the American candidate, in case he won the 2016 Presidential Elections. This however, backfired spectacularly for the Mexican president: after the visit, Trump was now seen as a serious presidential contender, while he never changed his extreme views about Mexico and Mexican people, because like the rest of his "base", Trump sees Mexico as an enemy. This added confidence points to the Republican candidate, who eventually won the presidency during the November 2016 elections. For the Mexican President, this fiasco resulted in a huge amount of criticism by his detractors, becoming one the most unpopular presidents in recent Mexican history, to the point that during the Mexican 2018 Presidential Elections, there is a high probability that a socialist, populist candidate -- the Mexican version of Bernie Sanders -- wins the incoming elections.
