Pena had to give a politician's answer to save face and look like he was doing something against big bad daddy Trump no matter if he believed the whole mess or not.
You're thinking on too low of a level with this.
No, you're thinking on too high of a level. You're ascribing a level of sophistication to their discussion that wasn't there. Trump told him he needed Mexico to pay for the Wall or they wouldn't negotiate any further on a trade deal, and Pena said what any ratonal person would say: no, sorry, not happening sir.
You can argue that Trump can't actually be that stupid, so it must be some 3D chess game he's playing, but the reality is he really can be that stupid. He's been that stupid before and he'll in all likelihood be that stupid again.
