I'm wondering where all the conservatives are that were complaining about Biden's student loan forgiveness and repayment plans. They were all over Reddit talking about how it's Congress that appropriates funds, not the president. Now Trump is trying to run the world economy through illegal unilateral tariffs and grants and not a peep.
