Donald Trump faced pushback from his ally Rep. Byron Donalds during a recent dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Donalds told Trump that he and other GOP lawmakers do not support the idea of making Canada the 51st state. Donalds expressed concerns that this proposal could lead to Canada electing two Democratic senators. He suggested that maintaining Canada’s territory status might be a better option. The dinner included several Republican lawmakers, some of whom have previously clashed with Trump. Despite the gathering, Trump's idea reportedly received a "chilly reception" from attendees.
