I don't see a story on Trump's Make America First foreign policy speech he gave today.  So here is my take on it.  There is one little problem with making America First. US pension funds and many other funds are invested in global markets. As an example the Alaska $50 billion permanent fund is invested all over the world. The online stock portfolio shows 294 Australian companies, 135 Chinese companies, 37 in Mexico, 32 in Russia, and additional similar numbers for more than 70 other countries. We are financially bound to a global market. We cannot restart the financial engine at this point. In effect we cannot make America great again without bringing the whole world along with us. Also the dollar is the leading world reserve currency. About 60 percent of our dollars are in overseas markets. If the dollar is abandoned by other countries all those dollars will come home and then we will see hyperinflation like we have never experienced.
