Trump doesn't need to withdraw from NATO. He just needs to give Putin additional top secret intelligence, ignore all treaties, and do whatever the fuck he wants to do. Seriously, does anyone expect anything else?

Trump can still fuck Ukraine, but now it's harder to fuck up NATO and international relations for decades to come. Different things.

And you think giving NATO intelligence to Putin won't screw up our relations with NATO and other nations? Because that's what he would do if reelected. Hell, knowing Trump, he'd probably invite Putin to the swearing in, and give him Top secret materials as a goody bag when he went home.

When he’s sworn in, he’ll put his hand on the pee tapes.

Maybe, dear US citizens, don't vote that evil clown again. Last time really stressed our good friendship.

I mean the majority of us didn't. But yes let's hope even less next time. Sorry for stressing our friendship random person from unknown other country, we tried to stop it

Alternate possibility: he lets Ukraine fall, Russia, China, and/or NK are emboldened to attack NATO countries, and we have to send troops to war.

Trump invokes wartime powers and just never stops.

Trump can openly say he won't ever allow US military intervention as part of NATO article 5, so even if the US remains in NATO it's teeth are gone.

If Trump is elected, honestly we have bigger problems than backing up NATO forces. I mean, at least there are NATO forces besides the US. It would be bad, but literally everything about it would be bad for everyone everywhere.

If he regains the presidency ever again, the world as a whole is fucked, the amount of cascading chaos can not be understated.
