P.S. Even without shelter inflation was down, just not down as much.

It appear that BLS made a big judgment error in its shelter calculation (effectively assuming 0 in October), leading to inflation understated.

It is, however, very unlikely this error was political. If anything the opposite: they stuck to algorithm rather than using judgment.

"U.S. inflation has remained stubbornly above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, partly because of President Donald Trump’s decision to impose double-digit taxes on imports from almost every country on earth along with targeted tariffs on specific products like steel, aluminum and autos."

"All of the November data was collected after the government reopened in mid-November. That means that more of the prices came during “Black Friday” sales than they would in a normal year."
U.S. consumer prices were up 2.7 percent from a year earlier in November. "Core" prices, excluding volatile food and fuel, were up 2.6 percent.
Be very cautious with these numbers, though. Shutdown distortions may have biased them down.

"41% gave the president a passing grade of A or B on the economy, and 47% gave Trump a failing grade of D or F on the economy.

affordability fared worse for Trump, with 36% giving him a passing grade and 51% giving him a D or an F."

The newborn was coughing so badly, her skin turned a sickly gray-blue color. Her face contorted as she tried to gulp air. 'I think the longest she would stop breathing was about 10, 11 seconds,' said her mother."

Job losses in June, August, and October mean the U.S. economy has shed jobs in three out of the past six months.
And recall that Powell said last week that Fed staff thinks the numbers may be *overstating* jobs by about 60k/month, due to methodological issues
