Hedging against global chaos

Ok, so I just rolled several retirement accounts over to my new 401(k) and IRA. It's sitting in cash and I need to get it reinvested. With all the uncertainty in the market- Orangeboy threatening to fire J Pow, declining USD, diminishing faith in US Bonds & Treasuries, trade wars, etc- I'm starting with a more well-hedged portfolio as a safe guard. If shit starts to stabilize, I will slowly reposition into a more aggressive position again. That in mind, here's my strategy for now- thoughts?
