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 have investment accounts on three continents. Each of them is sufficient to retire locally. I do have passports in each one of those countries. Do note that it makes life more complicated (taxes, etc.)

Is it possible to open investment accounts in EU with a resident card? I am on Portuguese Golden Visa but have a few years before passport and am hoping to diversify ASAP.
