This is a statement that’s gonna need a Thesis’ worth of citations to defend lol. I’m not convinced Trump had any inkling of good intentions here.
Qatar is bribing Trump for his famous vanity, and the Saudi’s are imperialist thugs who’s word should be taken as de-facto bad-faith. Their conflict with Iran is just two imperialist nations being dipshits destabilizing their neighbors.

Trump absolutely doesn’t, but his intentions don’t matter because he’s getting bribed to do as Qatar says.

True but we’re talking about Qatar here, not Saudi Arabia. Qatar is, well, you can just take a scroll through this, but their main actions on the regional stage are supporting domestic opposition to Middle Eastern dictatorships and mediation in peace talks. Also note that, coming almost in tandem with closer American-Gulf state ties were beef between Trump and Netanyahu and the cessation of bombing operations in Yemen, so we’re likely seeing the effects of Gulf influence already. If Trump really likes his new toy, he might even think of leaning on Israel to tone down or stop its genocide in Gaza, which the Gulf states pretty unanimously hate.
