Considering last night's results, I don't expect NATO to be credible 4 years from now (sh.itjust.works)

Not a lot. The British weapons are reliant on US maintenance. Won't be credible for long if the US doesn't support them.

Isn't this a bit like saying that because I drive a German car that's maintained by the dealership, it's not my car?

I'm sure it wouldn't be tricky for the UK to move the Trident weapons program closer to home, or to align with allies in Europe (lol).
