The US dollar has been global reserve currency. The US greatly benefited from this arrangement, more or less it is why, for instance, boomers were able to buy a house on one wage.
The US took in far more than it laid out over various hard and soft power initiatives. These soft power initiatives, and US military spending are essential for a country whose currency is to be considered a safe haven for investors - it projects fairness, power etc.
Trump is withdrawing the US from this role of great privilege in order to try and compete with India and China in being the world's factory, so it is inevitable it will end the concomitant mechanisms of soft power it employed in its former role as global reserve currency.
This is not a good deal for the average American; the rest of the world knows it is a crazy decision, the US voted for it a second time, when Trump was very clear on his intentions.
