For the first time, Donald Trump has disclosed that his proposed wall on the border with Mexico — which has become one of the centerpieces of his campaign — would cost about $8 billion. If so, it would be the biggest waste of money in recent history, even if it were paid for in Mexican pesos.

“The wall is probably $8 billion, which is a tiny fraction of the money that we lose with Mexico, ” Trump told MSNBC on Tuesday, after months of refusing to estimate how much his wall proposal would cost.

“It’s a very simple calculation, ” Trump said. He explained that the border is 2, 000 miles long, “and of the 2, 000, we don’t need 2, 000, we need a thousand, because we have natural barriers.”

Asked how he would pay for the wall, Trump repeated his claim that he would get Mexico to pay for it. Pressed on how he would get Mexico to pay for it, he responded simply, “You tell ‘em, ‘You’re gonna pay for it.’”
