If Trump gets his wish and co-ops the Fed, they might as well start dumping USD. It's going to be on a wild ride after that.

I would be skeptical of them "dumping" anything, but they probably would start to slowly diversify their reserves.

Right now there isn't exactly a replacement other than gold, but that's really impractical as a replacement for the bond market.
