You're right, it cost a lot to business, and aviation in particular but the cost would have been far greater to the region, including Qatar if Trump hadn't managed to defuse it. Anyway it wasn't Trump's money so I don't imagine that would have bothered him. He might have made a financial killing anyway with the sharp moves in the oil price.
Reading BBC News just now he doesn't appear best pleased with either Israel or Iran this morning. It sounds as though Israel in particular has narked him, which I for one find surprising.
