Not entirely true. USA needs Israel just as much as Israel needs the USA. Israel provides great intelligence and security analysis to the USA. If USA heeded Israel's warning, 9/11 never would have happened.

You cannot possible know that! How do you know they need us more than we need them? In NATO you are talking about 32 countries, many of whom have intelligence capabilities as good as ours and they share information! If they cut us out it will do HUGE damage to our security! And why would we do that? They are our allies, not our enemies! You need to think this through a bit better. Your type of hubris thinking makes us so less safe. The idea you have that we don't need their intelligence, or that they need us more than we need them is dead wrong. It seems you are drunk on our power and think we can bully the world just like Trump! We can't! In many areas they are ahead of us, and we are talking about 50 or so countries that we exchange information with. If Trump pulls us out of NATO and align us with Russia, are you going to be OK with that? That would be a travesty. < As far as our allies go, we have 17 intelligence agencies and we don’t need their intel. Most intel goes from us to them, not the other way around. Our allies need us much more than we need them. If they don’t like our president, they can go cry a river like the slobbering Dims in this country..

Trump has an extremely huge task ahead of him. It will take a lot of time and numerous headwinds to get through to make progress. To think this is a simple task that will be taken care of or fixed quickly is very naive. I do think Trump's heart is in the right place. But the "enemy within" is greater than he thinks and it will take time. Again, these terrorists are not going away peacefully and there are quite a bit of them here already. I can easily see another 9/11 attack.
