"The 18 star American flag was used between the years 1876 to 1890. During that time, in 1882, the China - Korea Treaty was signed."

Somehow, in all my research on the 18 star flag, I missed that. Do you have a link you could share? I'd appreciate it!

1877 to 1890 = 38 states/stars?

I don’t have any link. This was my line of reasoning:

Trump had earlier tweeted Thank you Asia and the Q post also said Thank you Asia. Q’s post included two flags, the US flag with the 18 Star Flag. I looked up when the 18 star American flag was used and that was between 1876 and1890.

So I started looking at history to see if we had any wars in Asia during that time. Why Asia? Because both posts thanked Asia, not a single Asian Country.

Why China and Korea? Because they were the Asian countries Trump has been dealing with. So when I saw the treaty between China and Korea, that seemed to be the most interesting connection. There may be other treaties, wars or agreements that also fit.

Here is a link

https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/folk-art/memorabilia-political-patriotic/18-star-13-stripes-american-flag/id-f_725986/#0

From the website: 18 STAR AND 13 STRIPES, MADE TO CELEBRATE THE ADMISSION OF LOUISIANA AS THE 18TH STATE, 1876-1892: 18-star, 13-stripe American national flag, made sometime in the period between 1876 and the 1890's to commemorate the admission of Louisiana as the 18th state. Among surviving flags, 18 is one of the rarest counts. Just one example is known to exist from the four-year period in which there were 18 states (1812-1816) and only a small handful of others survive that date to the second half of the 19th century.
