“You mean to tell me I can’t take $7 billion and build a wall?” — Speech in Waterloo, Iowa
“If the wall costs $6 billion to build, and you know we’re talking about 1,000 miles, it’s 2,000, but you need it on 1,000. The Great Wall of China, think of it, is 13,000 miles.” — Speech in Richmond, Va.

President Trump talks about the cost of a border wall during a town hall in Charleston, S.C
“First of all, they say the wall is going to cost $40 billion — the Democrats are saying. We’re talking less than half.” — Interview on Fox News
