Bill Press mocks Trump on CNN: If you think Mexico will pay for border wall, you believe in fairy tales

Liberal radio host Bill Press on Thursday mocked President Donald Trump's plan to make Mexico pay for a border wall.

"I do not believe in the Tooth Fairy," he said during an appearance on CNN. "Mexico is not going to pay for this wall. If you believe that, you believe in the Tooth Fairy."

Press noted that Trump said during an ABC News interview that Mexico would reimburse the United States after it built the border wall.

"It is not going to happen. And Donald Trump has gone from building the wall to -- and he is living up to that campaign promise -- and having Mexico pay for it, to now 'we're going to build the wall, we're going to pay for it.' As a businessman, he would never make a deal like this. Build a building, pay for it himself on the promise that someone else reimburse him."

"It is idiotic to believe that is going to happen," Press said.
