Trump's standing in most of Europe is about level with that of his rancid poop, European countries are already turning away from buying arms from US suppliers because he's proven so unreliable and untrustworthy, he's making good headway in running the US economy into the ground, and if he wants to end up rendering US influence in Europe irrelevant except as a marginal annoyance, this plan is the way to go.

As for NATO, an alliance without the burden of Trump's current unpredictable incarnation of the US would only end up being stronger.
