It’s not. It’s because he took inflation to the Moon. If he hadn’t had Hegseth at his side, and hadn’t gone into Iran, he’d probably still be treading water.
Yes. Then the party that did that got trounced. Then nobody learned any lessons.
And how did that work out for Biden?
Voters don’t like inflation. Blowing up energy prices by launching a war of choice while shutting down domestic production because windmills isn’t smart policy.
Current inflation is a fuckup [1]. Pretending it doesn’t exist is a fuckup. They aren’t unprecedented fuckups. But they are consistently punished.
Inflation is exceptionally high right now for a developed country. It’s feeding into cost-of-living issues that are animating voters.

I'm sorry. Is this Reddit? Sure reads like it
You had no hard numbers. I’m providing them. How aren’t you following that connection?
Biden’s inflation peaked worse than anything Trump has done. But telling voters you’re only slapping them after the other guy punched them is about as effective as you’d think. (There is zero sense of urgency from the White House around this either.)
