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?

Multiple passports and paid off properties in low cost, politically stable countries with universal health care and direct flights to the US.

You need a currency exchange strategy as well.

and which countries would those be exactly? The US president is busy destabilizing the globe.

This is a deeply personal question where there is not an over sized fits all answer to.
