1. Cutting off funding to universities based on claims of anti-Semitism

is nothing but a smokescreen he is using to try to take over universities' academic freedom. Trump doesn't give a damn about anti-Semitism, which is obvious based on his hangers-on and most of his Nazi-adjacent fan base. People are afraid to complain about his fake attempts to stamp out anti-Semitism at universities for fear that they will be accused of it, too, but this is only the beginning. He's been coming after DEI as well, of course, which sort of clashes with efforts to oppose anti-Semitism, but the real and ultimate goal is to control all ideological teaching in post-secondary education.
