You want to see how Trump can really screw the pooch? The US has a vital strategic military base there, maybe one of the most vital in the region. Guess who gains from the discord between Qatar and other Arab nations?
US suspects Russian hackers planted fake news behind Qatar crisis
"US investigators believe Russian hackers breached Qatar's state news agency and planted a fake news report that contributed to a crisis among the US' closest Gulf allies, according to US officials briefed on the investigation.
The FBI recently sent a team of investigators to Doha to help the Qatari government investigate the alleged hacking incident, Qatari and US government officials say."

EDIT to add:
5 hours after Trump's tweet, the Pentagon contradicts him.
"The United States Department of Defense on Tuesday contradicted President Donald Trump’s tweets by praising the nation of Qatar for its “enduring commitment to regional stability.”
