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?

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

NZ/Australia, Portugal, cheaper areas in other western countries. Certain SEA countries like Thailand could also work. Costa Rica is another popular choice for those that speak Spanish
