Not really up to you. It’s unfortunately going to happen.

It's absolutely up to him and his scions in the US congress. There are tons of policies they could pass, economic investments they could make that would solidify the USD standard for the next quarter century. But they are all short-term capitalists, so they know they don't actually care about the longterm dollar standard benefits.
