to the rest of the world currencies? Does the whole world go down in flames? Will there be any safe haven? Thanks for anyone's guess on this.

1. The cost of imports will increase. Foreigners may not invest in U.S. stocks or buy our bonds at lower rates.

They do so because we’re seen as a safe haven and a rule of law country. They may longer think we are .

2. Depression

And all the benefits that come with it.

BUT

If we are super lucky, we will avoid the world war.

3. My real question is, will other currencies remain intact?

Or will he pull the entire world into a death spiral?

4. The currency or possibly basket of currencies that replace the dollar would probably increase

5. Thanks. Now I just need to find one

before the great crash begins.

7. You invest in hedges on the dollar if you believe it will crash

Foreign assets, hard assets. Gold, precious metals ETFs, foreign ETFs and companies, physical goods here (houses, cars, collectibles). Those are about the simplest to understand and available to little people. Heck two pair of extra shoes could carry you through the turmoil years. Currency swaps are for big investors and banks.
