You know, Americans might not care. They are like a steamroller - a heavily armed and armored and angry steamroller; what some puny arab dictratorships or their streets think, or yell, might not matter.

USA is not Canada - every single monarchy in the middle east depends for their security on the USA. if they piss off Trump and lose USA protection, rebelions will spark instantly, and they might find their heads cut off live on the internet by the 'arab street', Syria-style. And USA might even kick in a few arms shipments to the right rebels, to expedite the process; CIA is very good at that. So, rulers will swallow it.

Arab street? Its already a global shitshow; whether you are falling towards the abyss at a slower or faster rate, matters little.

Might be even worth it in the long run. What we are doing right now isn't working.
