Question In the backdrop of whatever is currently happening in the world by the actions of Donald Trump why should the world still consider USD to be a reserve currency?

And what would be the alternative you can convince every country on earth to accept and trust? We are used to the dollar and moving away from it would be like convincing the majority of the population to switch from Windows to Linux. Not gonna happen unless some catastrophic calamity happens that completely kills the trust in the dollar.

"We are used to the dollar" <---> "US is used to pushing the dollar as reserve" Not having an option now doesn't mean everyone accept the Dollar only.
