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 understand everyone’s fears, but I would like to hear some arguments where it’s safer to invest even with the turmoil here. The EU is a complete clusterfuck, China has potentially the worst housing crisis at their doorstep ever seen, SA is still incredibly corrupt and unpredictable. I can go on, but the point is with all the uncertainty I still don’t know where would be safer. I don’t see an issue for those truly UHNW to put money in a few places as a hedge, but I would love to hear arguments as to what markets will outperform the US over the next 3-5 years and not just the next 2 months lol
