Compare to Trump's response to the Labor Department jobs report: phony when they showed good numbers on President Obama's watch, but "very real" now. Everyone, including Spicer, chuckled when Spicer made this comment in the White House press briefing room last week.  It was a "knowing chuckle" because everybody in the room, including Spicer, knew that Spicer was acknowledging that Trump was lying about the "phony" numbers last year. Of course he was. Shame on anyone who believes Trump. About anything. Ever.
