It is actually a crime for him to do so:
Whether trump will or can be charged is separate from the legality of it. Given the illegal action to make the IRS take action, the action will be voided in the time it takes a judge to write an opinion.
Oh! Oh! Do the churches next!!Trump says he’ll revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status
President Donald Trump declared Friday that “We are going to be taking away Harvard’s Tax Exempt Status."www.foxnews.com
This is the right decision. There is no room for antisemitism in our country and taking away Harvard's non-profit status is a small but proper thing to do.
And, yeah. I don't think the president actually has the power to make that decision or create an exception for a specific entity on a whim. If Harvard meets the criteria they should be able to be tax exempt or whatever special tax category they qualify for.
But the present fracas is rather different. Trump is going after the universities over antisemitism, having redefined antisemitism to include any criticism of Netanyahu's policies or any sympathy for the civilians in Gaza. "Support for terrorism" is the accusation. Where is the electioneering in that? It looks like nothing so much as an ideological clamp down.
As soon as it became a black & white (no room for middle ground) conflict of "Pro-Israel vs. Pro-Palestine" (largely drawn down partisan lines), it became much closer than you think.
Do you seriously not understand how the "Deep State" work? Seriously, those determinations are made by working through rubrics by bureaucrats. That's the point of having a professional civil service.
If you would kindly not drag this one off topic it would be appreciated.
Sigh.
Strange than, that we didn't hear the then president about this display of antisemitism:Trump says he’ll revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status

This is the right decision. There is no room for antisemitism in our country and taking away Harvard's non-profit status is a small but proper thing to do.
During Trump's first term there also was a lot of opposition from the left toward his efforts against antisemitism:

Right. I don't blame Trump for it, because the line was sharply drawn along religious rather than partisan lines by Christians suffering from the Manichaean derangement which affects their position on that and so many other issues. I don't think Trump cares, he's just playing to his base.
Correct. But I would also consider what Ted Cruz might have done to enrage the lunatic. Not necessarily to blame Ted Cruz, but to understand the situation better in the hope of defusing it.
I certainly wouldn't flat out lie about the situation.
the president said, "You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people — and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists."
