Season 1 episode 5, titled "State Dinner," sees Trump and his family preparing to host a state dinner at the White House for the President of Kazakhstan. With the first family trying to impress their foreign guests, Trump worries about not being able to act appropriately. Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump struggles with the pressure to have the perfect outfit for the event, and Donald Trump Jr. tries to impress his father by coming up with the perfect business deal with the Kazakhs.
As the preparations for the state dinner are underway, the Trumps start getting into arguments and making mistakes, threatening to ruin the evening.

At the same time, Melania is feeling the pressure to look her best, picking out various outfits and models to make sure she looks perfect for the occasion.

Eric Trump keeps interrupting his father's speeches, while Don Jr. tries to make small talk with the Kazakhs but only ends up making insensitive comments. Ivanka continues to try and coach her father, but he keeps getting flustered and messing up his lines. The First Lady also makes a misstep by wearing the same dress as the Kazakh President's wife, causing an embarrassing moment at the dinner table.
As the night goes on, tensions rise between the Trumps and the Kazakhs. Trump becomes increasingly frustrated as he is unable to impress his foreign guests, resulting in a comical standoff between the two leaders.
