Speaking as a math minor that trend line is intellectual masturbation. Recall that figures don’t lie, but liars figure. One would like to know why a linear trend line was chosen, how the foreign currency values were averaged, how the various currencies values were weighed, and how many points were uset to fit the data. Error estimates would also be nice to see.
IMHO the Federal Reserve should be repealed. The dollar as much as possible should be put on the gold standard (and silver). Politicians that diddle with the dollar’s value should semmarly be removed from office. Declining dollars is really stealing from those that save without the gun.

Politicians that diddled with the dollar’s value removed a politition that resisted such diddling actions, with great prejudice, on November 22, 1963.
