ANALYSIS: If history repeats itself, Trump could hurt the dollar

If history repeats itself, Donald Trump's second presidency could hurt the US dollar, which fell during his first term and could fall again, and he could also devalue it, according to a foreign media analysis. During Trump's presidency from January 2017 to January 2021, the trade-weighted dollar depreciated by about 6 per cent. The widely watched and traded dollar index fell nearly 12 per cent.
