    NEW YORK – Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood today announced a lawsuit against the Donald J. Trump Foundation, and its directors, Donald J. Trump (“Mr. Trump”), Donald J. Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump. The petition filed today alleges a pattern of persistent illegal conduct, occurring over more than a decade, that includes extensive unlawful political coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions to benefit Mr. Trump’s personal and business interests, and violations of basic legal obligations for non-profit foundations. The Attorney General initiated a special proceeding to dissolve the Trump Foundation under court supervision and obtain restitution of $2.8 million and additional penalties. The AG’s lawsuit also seeks a ban from future service as a director of a New York not-for-profit of 10 years for Mr. Trump and one year for each of the Foundation’s other board members, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump. The Attorney General also sent referral letters today to the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Election Commission, identifying possible violations of federal law for further investigation and legal action by those federal agencies.

    Trump hurled childish insults and rattled his proverbial saber, which escalated an already turbulent relationship with North Korea. Someone else took steps to deescalate the situation, after which Trump meets with Kim Jung Un. During the meeting, Trump made promises without consulting anyone else, failed to get any concrete results saying “we’ll see what happens,” and then couldn’t stop praising a mentally unstable brutal dictator. And this is what his delusional followers thinks deserves a Nobel Peace Prize? Oh that’s right, the black guy got one and Trump has to either undo or one up everything the black guy did.

    The border between the Russian Empire and the Korean Kingdom (then a tributary state of the Qing dynasty) was established by the Convention of Peking in November 1860. Under the agreement, the Qing dynasty ceded territories east of the Ussuri River to the Russians. The original description of the border included the lower course of the Tumen River—the last 20 li (about 10.75–13 kilometres or 6.68–8.08 miles)—as its southernmost section.78

    The existence of Korea as a separate country was not mentioned in the 1860 convention between Russia and China, but in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Chinese influence in Korea waned and Japanese influence grew. The Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895 ended the Imperial Chinese tributary system over Korea, and the Japan–Korea Treaty of 1905 made Korea a protectorate of Japan. The Japan–Korea Treaty of 1910 finalized Japan’s annexation of Korea. Thus, the Tumen River became a border between the Russian Empire (later, the Soviet Union) and the Japanese Empire; this continued until the end of Japanese rule in Korea in 1945.

    Regardless of who ruled Korea, the coastal strips of Russian and Korean territory always separated China from the Sea of Japan.

    Trump’s administration is a Potemkin village – a false facade built solely to deceive others into thinking that a situation is better that it really is. Also they were both derived from Russia.
