That's a good start.

Now do the rest and close all the bases.

Medium or long term sure.

Suddenly & without a German replacement of capability? Not so good.

Trump is a Russian asset.

American overseas bases are load-bearing structures for America's expeditionary warfare capacity.

I agree that a planned drawdown would be better, but if the only chance we have of getting out of Europe is Trump angrily closing all bases via executive order, it'll have to do.
