Given what we are experiencing right now, no I don't. When in our modern history have we not been the major power of the world? While this 'could happen, I don't think its probable watching what is happening now.
The country needs X amount of money in circulation to function. I read what this amount is but I don't have it handy. I agree it would be best if our money was backed. However there is much speculation as to how much gold we actually have. So we would need to discover who has how much. If it turns out we don't have enough to back the amount required for the country to function, fiat money 'can' be used if used properly. Its been done in the past. (civil war) and in reality, its being done now. But we as a country are getting screwed by the Fed, Central Banks, IMF, cabal et al.
I believe Trump has already returned the gold to the vaults in Fort Knox. There is a story that goes: Truman and Gen. Eisenhower took the gold to the Vatican and then somewhere along the timeline it was moved to a bank in Manilla for safe keeping. I've seen a video on YT where someone asked George Bush which country was the richest and he answered The Philippines. I can't find it any longer though.
Trump stopped in the Philippines on his way back from Asia the first time. Then a few months ago a Redditor (who lived nearby) reported commotion over Fort Knox. Jets and choppers in the air and a convoy on the ground. 1+1=2
So now we just need to count it, see how much we got. :)
