President Donald Trump s insistence on visiting his golf resorts likely cost taxpayers an extra $5.3 million at least for his recent Thanksgiving trip to Afghanistan because he began and ended his travel in Florida rather than Washington, according to a HuffPost analysis.

Trumps 36-hour round trip to Bagram Air Base to visit the troops required two more planes than normally used for a U.S. presidents international travel. One cargo plane did nothing more than help secret Trump away from Mar-a-Lago, his for-profit Palm Beach club, which lies near two of his golf courses.

Then, the Air Forces second modified 747, known as Air Force One when the president is aboard, was flown to a U.S. base in Germany, where it picked up Trump for the flight back to Florida while the first modified 747 was refueled and flown back to Washington.

The White House justified the use of the second 747 because it saved time and because the crew on the first plane needed rest, according to a pool report from the trip.
