If that money were circulating in the USA prices here would be higher.

There isn't a fixed amount of dollars. The fed just creates more and
more and more. They have to go somewhere. If all the dollars in the
world returned we would actually feel all the inflation. When the
dollars are exported around the world that increases demand for dollars
and many of those are held and don't circulate and if they do circulate
they are in a little pool outside the US. This dollar sink
moderates the effects of the inflation. It is the world wide
demand for the federal reserve note that the results of
the irresponsibility of the federal government and reckless behavior of
the fed hasn't hurt us as much as would otherwise have.

At least that's a business which provides a product to willing customers
unlike this:

depends on how you define successful. If successful means making
things worse for the vast majority of the people of the USA for the
benefit of themselves and their friends and their largest contributors,
then they've been wildly successful.

Maybe the Fed could print out of country money and create world
inflation.... rather than printing in-country money and creating
American inflation.
