Original Note:
Trump never endeavored to "destroy NATO." This appears to be a misrepresentation of a book by John Bolton with unproven claims that he intended to "exit" NATO. In reality, Trump pressured NATO members to spend more on defense and was largely applauded by many member states. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-16/nato-members-ramp-up-defense-spending-after-pressure-from-trump#xj4y7vzkg https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-nato-baltic-allies-stronger-1639290
