After Harvard University said it would not accept requests from the US government in order to continue receiving federal funding, Trump escalated the conflict with Harvard and threatened to cancel the university's tax-free status. Trump posted on social media: “If Harvard continues to promote those 'morbid' acts that are politicized, ideologized, or even inspired or supported by terrorism, it should probably cancel the university's tax-free status and instead tax it by political entity. Remember, eligibility for tax exemptions depends entirely on whether you serve the public interest!”
