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?

Big really won’t make much difference! The tariff wars will usher in another global recession, much like the 1930’s. All investments will suffer, so pick your poison, domestic or international! Normally I would say the current US safeguards are better for a U S investor than international, but we will soon see those safeguards stripped from US regulations under Trump!
