Are prices now going to decline to get us back where we were when President Trump was cheated out of his second term?

No, they just won't go up as fast.

Really? Inflation is a measure on how much prices are going up.
Low inflation means prices are not going up as fast.
If prices were going down, we would have negative inflation. We don't have that.
Excuse me if I don't believe these numbers.

That’s just one tiny piece of the inflation puzzle. Looks like general inflation will rise again soon. Another rate raise would not be a surprise but the situation is fluid due to so many possible inputs and influences, including armed conflicts.

Wholesale prices paid by companies decline slightly but wages are up, and that alone could flip that inflation number positive.

Producer Price Index measure of wholesale inflation, seasonally adjusted, IOWs, produced by a gubmint agency, adjusted with a special sauce that removes any bias caused by what consumers pay for their daily keep this year as opposed to a year ago.
