Former President Trump denounced President Biden’s failed student loan forgiveness plan on Friday, calling him “crooked” while a favorable decision of the Supreme Court in Biden against Arkansas.
Trump addressed an enthusiastic crowd at the Moms for Liberty Joyful Warriors National Summit in Philadelphia. During his speech, he defamed Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, which would have forgiven more than $10,000 per federal borrower.
Earlier Friday, the Supreme Court ruled Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan was unconstitutional.
The plan would have forgiven debt for borrowers earning less than $125,000 a year. Pell Grant recipients were reported to have received up to $20,000 in forgiveness.

“(It) would have been very unfair to the millions and millions of people who have paid their debts through hard work and diligence,” Trump said during his speech. “Very unfair.”
“We have a corrupt president. Very corrupt,” the former president added. “But this was a way to buy votes.”
The Supreme Court’s majority opinion discredited the idea that the HEROES Act would allow loan forgiveness, dealing a significant blow to the Biden administration.
“The Secretary’s plan canceled approximately $430 billion in federal student loans, completely erasing the debts of 20 million borrowers and lowering the median amount owed by the other 23 million from $29,400 to $13,600,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the 6-3 majority.

“Six states have filed a lawsuit, arguing that the HEROES Act does not approve the loan cancellation plan. We agree,” the judge added.
Trump also alluded to the 303 Creative LLC. v. Eleni’s decision, which gave a Christian web designer the right to refuse services to same-sex couples.
“They also gave religious freedom, as you know…a huge victory. Religious freedom got a great victory today,” the former president said.
