If the dollar falls then other countries will want to buy US goods because they are cheap. Americans will clean up. With a strong dollar Americans can buy more foreign goods for cheap.

I don’t get the gold standard, why not the aluminum standard, or uranium standard, or helium standard, or the brondo standard? Why pick one element when you have a whole economy producing trillions of dollars in output? There isn’t enough gold in the world to cover the wealth of the US. The US production for one year is worth more than the gold reserves in fort knox.
