I looked at the Executive Orders references on Wikipedia and there wasn't anything about rescinding them, though who knows what a POTUS can do with an executive order.

But could they rescind an individual's medal of freedom? Some people are trying to have Bill Cosby's, with no success.

Looks like Trump is now putting pressure on Pence, saying that he hopes Pence will "come through for us" on Jan. 6th. Surely one of his aides must have told him that the VP has zero power here, right? Pence's role is only ceremonial and he's there to simply confirm the vote count.

President Donald Trump appeared zeroed-in on the vice president's role in certifying the 2020 presidential election results as a potential Hail Mary during a rally meant for a pair of Georgia GOP Senate candidates on Monday night, saying that he hoped Mike Pence would "come through for us."

Pence holds a largely ceremonial role when Congress affirms the Electoral College vote electing Joe Biden on Wednesday.

"I hope Mike Pence comes through for us, I have to tell you," Trump admitted. "I hope that our great vice president -- our great vice president, comes through for us. He's a great guy. Of course, if he doesn't come through, I won't like him as much."

But Trump, who was seen in the Oval Office with the vice president shortly before departing for Georgia, wouldn't say exactly what he wants Pence to do, given that his role in certifying electors is largely ceremonial.

Trump laughed it off and added: "Nah, Mike is a great guy he's a wonderful man and a smart man and a man that I like a lot."

"But he's gonna have a lot to say about it," the President added. "And he you know one thing with him, you're gonna get straight shots -- he's gonna call it straight."

Unless Pence doesn't overturn the election. Then he''ll be a terrible person.

Pence? I don't know who that is, I've never met him. I don’t know him. I saw him sitting, in one picture, at a table with me. That’s the — that’s the only thing I know about him

No No No, actually, your vote won't be counted, it is all a sham, don't come out and vote, especially if you like wearing red ball caps and gave The Russians Parler your personal information.

They should implement a COVID travel ban for anyone living in the Whitehouse for the past 6 months, considering it's a super spreader location.

NICOLA Sturgeon has warned Donald Trump that the travel ban on entering Scotland applies to him just as it does to everybody else.

The First Minister made the comments amid speculation the US President could be planning to snub the inauguration of Joe Biden by flying to Scotland.

Speaking during the Scottish Government's coronavirus update, Ms Sturgeon said she hopes and expects Mr Trump's immediate travel plan is to "exit the White House".

She added: "We are not allowing people to come into Scotland without an essential purpose right now. And that would apply to him just as it applies to anybody else”.

I find this rumor to be complete BS, however, I hope he does run. Running like a coward is, IMO, the only way Trump's supporters may actually see him for what he truly is.

I'd rather he run and escape prosecution if it meant Trumpism falls, than he stay in the US and continue fueling lies, division, and hatred.

If he runs and sets up shop somewhere else, he's not going to just stop fuelling Trumpism. It'll continue either way. Though, you may have a point that if he runs, his followers will lose steam and die out, versus having the media feeding the insanity with 24/7 coverage of his various trials.

They should put him somewhere in Alaska in the middle of nowhere in a log cabin with no communication methods at all. Supply him with all he needs to live, but if he tries to leave or someone tries to get him out, they shut that down quick.

I am waiting to see if Twitter cancels him on 1/21. If the take that away and Fox News continues to move on, then Trumpism is relegated to Parler and Newsmax, and out of sight of anything mainstream.

Sadly, there is a substantial dollar figure attached to that clownshow, and neither of those businesses have any interest in turning it off.
