Trump has turned out to be an incredibly canny politician. He knows that it's important to have the right enemies, to have the right opponents...and to be seen as fighting against those opponents. Harvard is one of the most elite institutions in the country, and is perceived by most of the GOP electorate as irredeemably liberal. By fighting tooth and nail against them, Trump pleases his supporters and demonstrates his commitment to doing what they want. That's true regardless of whether his actions hold up in court.
This. Plus, it upsets libtards on the way to him being ruled against. Stagflation setting in to dislodge a part of his MAGA base. They might even read about some who voted the same way they did being terminated, or an immigrant friend of 20 years know to all locals and loved being detained by ICE and headed for deportation, but it won't sink in for most. The ability of folks to compartmentalize contrasting thoughts, ideals, actions, is all to human. We do it regularly.
