My opinion on that is that it was largely misrepresented by loud Trump loyalists for the purposes of normalization of radical power consolidation. In the style of 'Accusation in a Mirror.' Specifically, they already planned to radically consolidate executive power and used this as an opportunity to begin the desensitization process that would make their plan future consolidation efforts raise fewer eyebrows. The more they bemoaned Biden's actions the easier their path would be. Even so, let's not falsely equate Biden and student loans with Trump and the implementation of Project 2025 and its goal of a Unitary Executive (read: dictator).
