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" https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2025/12/trump-delivers-core-inflation-hits-lowest-level-in-nearly-five-years/ 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. |
