To the rest of the world - Nothing. Trade works just fine without a reserve currency.

For the USA - massive inflation. All of those dollars are coming back home, which will weaken the dollar.

Plus, there's the second-order effects from a president taking control of the fed by trumping up charges on its members. So high inflation + low/zero/negative interest rates.
