I personally thought that student loan forgiveness was unconstitutional.
That being said, alot of the actions of the current admin are designed to push the boarders of executive power. They are trying to move fast and break things and do an end run around congressional oversight, before the courts can catch up.
The example of this is USaid, which was probably not legal in the method they went about. But no one will be putting that egg back together.
Contrast this to when Biden did his student loan forgiveness, it was telegraphed for months, and a court immediately blocked it pending review. And most importantly it was a single action.
All that being said, both are bad, my overall point is that we as Americans deserve better, and 'but they did it first' is not a valid excuse.
My hope is that we finally start reducing the power of the executive branch. The past 100 years of congress abdicating it's responsibility has been too much.
