The dollar is trading pretty much at 30-year historic highs relative to all other currencies. You have to go back to ~2000 to find a stronger era, and then the 1980s before that.
They're talking about the decline in the purchasing price of a dollar over the past decade, not its value relative to other currencies at the moment
I don't know how you know that, but even that argument is a straw man, unless you're asserting that all of the other currencies declined in value equally against whatever theoretical good(s) you're holding out as the objective standard for value.
I don't think you know what a straw man means, or purchasing power.
