It would be nice if there was some policy here instead of just a publicity stunt. But I’ll give a muted attaboy.

Can a university revoke degrees already awarded?

it can happen, but is quite serious.
usually cheating or falsifying to obtain degree is the threshold, however criminal activity may be reason also.

The Birchers must feel a bit foolish: "it's a Republic not a democracy. Let's keep it that way" slogan really seems archaic these days.

it would be bad for the US because now you just gave a labor competitive advantage to foreign countries.
America's economic strength is our skilled labor above and beyond anywhere else, BECAUSE of our universities. We are scientists, engineers, artists, experts. We do not perform manual labor - skilled or unskilled - that someone from Mexico can do. If someone from Mexico can do what we do, what exactly is our advantage?
Trump is trying to turn our labor force into third-world peasants, and that means our labor force will have to compete against third-world peasants. We spend thousands of dollars per student in our public education system to teach them calculus, chemistry, literature, world history, and so on, so they DON'T have to work manual labor jobs like oxen.

Why would this be “really great”? An amusing stunt, with a loosely positive ideological bent sure, but really great?
