Should not have to worry about US pulling out of NATO. Trump is stupid, but even he realizes that it would not benefit US in a any way. Significantly reducing funding might happen, but hopefully that will make EU countries increase their defense spendings as a reaction.

That assumes that Trump is a rational actor when it comes to these sorts of things, and I'm not sure we can rely on that.

The question is how much of his leaving-NATO rhetoric was sincere, and how much of it was empty threats to try to get other NATO countries to devote more money toward defense.

There is absolutely no reason to expect Trump to act like a responsible leader. If he feels like leaving NATO he will do it.

If Putin orders him to, he will.
