I would argue that NATO under Trump is a paper tiger. There is a reason no-one wants to buy US weapons any more, though the intricacies of where they are, having assumed the US would be a reliable ally, mean the current flood of US weaponry to European countries will slow down gradually, not all at once. Reputation is a fickle thing, so difficult to build, and so easy to lose.

The strategic and economic importance of Europe is too great for even the U.S. to ignore. That's the reason I'm convinced the U.S. will always come to Europe's aid if the need arises. I'm pretty sure the Trump Administration has made this clear to the Russians through diplomatic channels. A Russian attack is therefore unlikely.
