you mean the dollar devaluing to the point it's worth nothing? More his foreign policy. The moment the world decides to abandons the dollar the US debt implosion will make Argentina look like a healthy economy

@SandWitch Only by BRICS' so far, there's signs it may be coming but it's not yet at a stage I'd define "in the works" personally. Europe's notoriously slow to react to international paradigm shifts. Maybe Japan, south Korea and other Asian countries are more likely to open the "dance"

@SandWitch The problem is there's none currently that the rest of the world is willingly to adopt. Who's going to control this new currency and where is the central bank that emits it? BRICS don't want a western controlled currency (be it the dollar, euro, pound or even a hypothetical new currency) and western countries likewise won't accept a BRICS operated one.
I think we're more likely to move to a model in which there isn't a single reserve currency, which means the abandonment of the dollar will necessarily be slow. What's ironic is that if Americans didn't shoot at their own feet, considering all the above, nobody would be thinking of moving away from the USD.

I never even made it past your first sentence because what you say here is factually untrue. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, then there's no point in me addressing the rest of your post.
