A Trump win, on the other hand, could cause shocks. Transactional in his foreign policy outlook, Trump has long argued that the NATO alliance is a bad deal for the United States, and many of his advisers urge the U.S. to redirect its resources to competing with China. While full withdrawal from NATO is unlikely, a Trump administration could trim U.S. commitments to Europe’s defence, while boosting the morale of far-right European politicians working against a stronger, more integrated Europe.

This is outlandish sanewashing.

Let me try:

A Trump win, on the other hand, could cause an unmitigated global catastrophe unprecedented in modern history. Openly violent and depraved, Trump has long allied himself with several of the worst people in the world, notably including Vladimir Putin, and would do his best to destroy NATO completely while giving overt assistance to forces which are actively hostile to anything European. While full withdrawal from NATO is one possible outcome, the damage would be by no means limited to simple, predictable changes like that. Trump is so unhinged that there is virtually no economic, military, or diplomatic disaster that would be off the table, were he to win a second term.
