‘If he’s not joking’: Sean Spicer loses it when NBC reporter asks ‘when can we trust the president?’ http://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/if-hes-not-joking-sean-spicer-loses-it-when-nbc-reporter-asks-when-can-we-trust-the-president/ …



NBC News correspondent Peter Alexander got an earful from White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on Monday after he asked when it was appropriate for media to take President Donald Trump at his word.

Alexander noted at Monday’s White House press briefing that then-candidate Trump had called unemployment reports “phony,” but he touted the same numbers after taking office.

“You said, ‘They may have been phony in the past but it’s very real now,'” Alexander said, quoting Spicer’s words back to him. “When should Americans trust the president? Should they trust the president, is it phony or real when he says President Obama was wiretapped?”

“He doesn’t really think that President Obama went up and tapped his phone personally,” Spicer explained. “But there’s no question that the Obama administration, that there were actions about surveillance and other activities that occurred in the 2016 election. That is a widely reported activity that occurred back then.”

“I guess the question is when can we trust the president, when he says something is phony or when he says it’s real?” the reporter wondered.

1. Woops.

Guess who's next in line to lose their WH Press Pass?

But thanks for holding their feet to the fire.

2. A perfectly honest question and there should be more like this

NOBODY in the US should be allowed to lie to the public with no questions asked.

3. How does Spicer know what President Trump means?

Spicer claims that Trump "doesn't really think that President Obama went up and tapped his phones personally." Then why did Trump tweet that, if that's not what he really thinks? Which brings us directly back to Alexander's question. Maybe it would be best if Trump came out and answered a few questions personally, instead of hiding behind his staff?
