Now that Trump and the US wish to adopt an isolationist stance, why don't they take their dollar and printing press with them?

He has the world in a tight grip. He's tightening his fist. The US dollar is the global currency, and Trump can print money knowing that non-Americans have little choice but to use the US dollar to buy oil or other commodities under the current international trade regime.

However, Trump has shifted away from this rule-based system and withdrawn from international institutions to a system based on his personal values, desires, or whims, where no law, regulation or institution stands in his way.

After WWII, an international rule-based system was created. Following these rules and international institutions that benefited everyone, including Americans.
