I actually have some money in Germany that I was waiting to bring back until after the election, hoping for a Trump win and a collapse of the Dollar relative to the Euro, but some of the stuff I've read suggests that it might actual do better? I don't know...it's all a little confusing to me.

Can you elaborate? In what way? The Federal Reserve sets the monetary policy not the President.

Fiscal policy is much more likely to raise velocity of money than "excess reserves" are.
