When it comes to NATO or to the Japanese defense treaty, what it really comes back to is the idea that Trump has no direct control over the countries on the other side of the equation. He is not a coalition builder, he is not a multinationalist, and he’s damned sure not a diplomat. What he is is a control freak and he absolutely hates the idea of others at the table having a voice equal to his own.
