Did anyone else notice this?

On New Year's Eve (or thereabouts) a reporter asked now President Trump about the alleged hacking by the Russians.  He told that reporter that he - Donald Trump - knew things that "you" don't know and that "you" would find out on "Tuesday or Wednesday."

Now, like so many of President Trump's statements, it was impossible to interpret.  One thinks one knew what President Trump said, but when one reads the actual words, it turns out that he didn't exactly say what you thought - knew - he meant.  Who, exactly, was that "you"?  Was it the reporter specifically, the press generally, or people in general.  I don't know.

However, unless I missed it - and I've been watching pretty carefully - it was never revealed to anyone what President Trump knew that someone else didn't.  Not on that Tuesday or Wednesday or at any time after that Tuesday or Wednesday.

Unless I missed something - and I've been watching pretty carefully - it was another of President Trump's broken promises.  Maybe it was a lie, but since we don't know what President Trump "knew" that we didn't know, we can't know whether it was a lie.

But, it clearly was a broken promise.

America, you have been conned.
