Warsh is trying to change the inflation metric
TL;DR: Warsh wants the Fed to judge inflation using Trimmed Mean PCE instead of Core PCE. That matters because Trimmed Mean PCE is currently much lower — about 2.36% versus 3.20% for Core PCE — making inflation look closer to target and giving the Fed more justification to cut rates.
