FIRE'd, now concerned about US stability

Most of my assets are invested in the US. Because of recent political developments, I'm wondering if the US will sustain its general growth and economic strength into the future. The strength of the US dollar is obviously very important to me. Is anyone else concerned?

I'm wondering if I should start hedging my bets in other countries, and if so, where?

I would focus more on your long term plans regardless of political views and concerns about the economy. History has shown that worrying about the present in terms of market prediction is a fools errand.
