#3The international value of the dollar as a reserve and trade currency is inherently tied to the behavior of the US Government and the Federal Reserve.
The behavior of the US Government has been very unusual lately, and the independence of the Federal Reserve is actively being challenged.
So draw from that whatever conclusions you wish.

The decline has been gradual.
The dollar's portion of global forex reserves has fallen from over 70% in the late 1990s to around 60%.

#9If the goal is to make US goods attractive to other countries and to decrease our trade deficit (not saying I agree with this goal), either the dollar has to become fundamentally weaker or the goods have to become more valuable. The latter feels more difficult than the former at this point. However, the side effects of a weaker dollar may not be worth weakening it.

#10If Trump announces some toady lunatic to run the Fed, watch out below, because the dollar is going to crash. I know I have moved a bunch of money into international stocks and currency and I suspect when the right leaning crowd finally catches on it will be a stampede.
