USD is likely to rise under Trump as US firms become more profitable, they will use more energy as manufacturing brought back from abroad. Borrowing likely to be less (probably not fall but not rise so quick) as Trump takes an axe to government spending, reduction in costs of illegal immigrants as they are returned, reduction in green subsidies and less government money given away to political causes abroad. On the other hand inflation may be under pressure as more job/less unemployment so pressure on Labor costs.
