well luckily, it's not the administration that decides the calculation method, the the BLS, and their method is also pretty transparent (https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cpi/calculation.htm) . Whether you agree with the method is one thing, but that method isn't just changed to suit a political purpose. And if you should so choose, you can look thru the historical methods and changes made, and form your own opinion (https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cpi/history.htm).
