Trump’s Gutting of the Department of Education Accidentally Fulfills Biden’s Promise to Cancel Student Loan Debt

 Washington, D.C. — In what may be the most unexpected political twist of the century, President Donald J. Trump has inadvertently realized one of Joe Biden’s key campaign promises—eliminating the nation’s $1.6 trillion in student loan debt. How? By firing so many Department of Education employees that there’s simply no one left to collect it.

“It’s called strategic downsizing, folks,” Trump proudly announced during a press conference from Mar-a-Lago, where he was golfing while defunding public education. “I’ve been saying for years, the government is too big! So I said, let’s start with the worst part—the Department of Education. Nobody likes it! Useless! And guess what? When there’s no one left to collect student loans, boom—debt gone! You’re welcome, college kids!”

A Brilliant Oversight—or Just No Oversight?

Trump’s decision to reduce the Department of Education to a single intern with a Hotmail account was initially part of his larger plan to “return education to the states” and “stop the indoctrination of our beautiful, precious children.” However, in the process of gutting the department, he also fired the thousands of bureaucrats responsible for tracking and collecting student loan payments.

Now, with no one left to process payments, respond to emails, or repossess English degrees, the federal student loan system has, in essence, ceased to exist.

“This is bigger than the Emancipation Proclamation,” declared an ecstatic Bernie Sanders. “Trump just freed 45 million people from financial servitude—on accident!”

Biden Reacts: “Damn It, Why Didn’t I Think of That?”

The move has reportedly sent former President Joe Biden into a deep state of frustration, as he spent years trying to pass student debt relief through conventional channels, only to be thwarted by the Supreme Court, conservative lawmakers, and the limits of his own attention span.

“I mean, come on, man,” Biden mumbled while sipping an unsweetened iced tea. “I used executive orders, I fought the Republicans, I worked out this whole income-based repayment thing, and this guy just fires a few nerds in a basement, and—poof!—debt’s gone?”

Former Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, now unemployed, expressed similar frustration. “We had committees. We had policies. We had lawsuits. Turns out all we needed was one angry billionaire with a Sharpie and a vendetta against higher education.”

The Republican Dilemma: Celebrating or Backtracking?

Trump’s Republican allies are struggling to react. On one hand, the Department of Education has been “canceled,” which is cause for celebration. On the other, the result—massive debt cancellation—was exactly what they opposed when Biden tried it.

“Look, we have to ask ourselves… is this socialism?” pondered Senator Ted Cruz. “Or is it just… a really aggressive tax cut? Because I love tax cuts. I just don’t like it when young people benefit from them.”

Fox News also appeared confused, running two contradictory headlines simultaneously:

• “Trump Saves America by Gutting Big Government”
• “Biden’s Plan to Cancel Student Debt Becomes Reality—Thanks to Trump”

What Happens Next?

While no one is quite sure how the U.S. government will function without an agency to oversee federal education, Trump remains unfazed.

“Maybe we’ll bring back apprenticeships. Who needs college? I didn’t need college, and look at me—I’m President again!” he shouted at a cheering crowd.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are celebrating their newfound financial freedom, with some reportedly holding parties where they burn old Navient payment notices like draft cards in the ‘60s.

One former borrower summed it up best:

“I voted for Biden because he said he’d cancel my student loans. Turns out I should’ve voted for Trump all along—because only he was stupid enough to actually do it.”
