Is it a failure of the trump administration to undermine the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and get them to publish dishonestly calculated low inflation??

Or did they succeed and cover up the much higher true numbers?

I thought trump got the fix in last August https://hgbr.org/bls-commissioner-dismissed-data-independence-questioned/
Did he miss a trick?

Pretty funny that in Dec 2025 the Whitehouse gave a press release saying...
"Trump Delivers: Core Inflation Hits Lowest Level in Nearly Five Years"

Quote: leavitt

“Just as President Trump told Americans last night: inflation continues to fall, wages continue to rise, and America is trending towards a historic economic boom. Today’s report shows that inflation came in far lower than market expectations — a stark comparison to the record-high 9% inflation crisis caused by Joe Biden. Core inflation is at a new multi-year low, as prices for groceries, medicine, gas, airfare, car rentals, and hotels keep falling. Americans can expect this trend of lower prices and bigger paychecks to continue into the New Year!”

Absurdly, trump could slash inflation quite quickly and easily: Slash his own contribution to inflation. Slash his tariffs, which are distilled inflation wholly of his making.
