Other NATO nations will be a lot more likely to put "sanctions" on the US if Trump really apply his isolationist program, than on China. You think that China is the only country worried about Trump, and that other countries do not think about response if Trump revoke some treaties and stops imports? Trump wants to say "F*ck you" to a lot of countries, and you think they will go to war with him against China? Good luck with that.

No, NATO will stick to United States for protection and money reasons. Thats why they all agree to sanction Russia. A lot of those european countries will be taken over if it weren't for the United States.

Trump basically said that he won't support NATO anymore and that other countries have to learn how to defend themselves without the US. We have nuclear missiles too and won't be invaded by any other country, so don't worry about us.
Just for information: a lot of France presidency candidates (on the likely winning side) are saying and said for a while now that we should get a lot closer to Russia. And Trump's election just gave a lot more weight to these arguments. You have the right to think that Europe loves the US and that we will do anything for your crazy president. We won't and a lot of us would be happy to see Trump failing. A lot of countries didn't follow you in Irak, you didn't follow us in Libya, we weren't able to agree on an intervention in Syria. And you want everyone to agree on a war to China? Once again, good luck with that ^^.
By the way, the sanctions against Russia were about Ukraine, a EU/Russia argument (EU wanted an economic agreement with Ukraine, Russia didn't want it basically). The US were the ones following the EU in this case, not the other way around.
