2. What is the next phase of Trump's economic agenda that requires a weak US dollar?

The only thing I can think of is using that as an excuse to ditch the dollar and replace it with unregulated crypto. If the dollar is jettisoned, we will have a global economic crisis. In many countries around the world, people want tourists to pay them in dollars because their currencies are unstable. I admit to knowing very little about crypto, other than that it is favored by international criminals because it is untraceable, but how does the small restaurant in Tuscany or the craftsperson selling wares at a local market in Africa switch to crypto payments instead of dollars?
