Yes we have. Many times throughout our history. And have done so to our own as well. And your notion of it being "needless" is not accurate.
Why are the Saudi’s or UAE excluded?
Do you want them to be?
Trump does not have a shred of empathy or compassion.
Of course he does. You are telling a contemptuous lie.
He has only an insecure ego, quick to be insulted and to insult.

He seems to have a big ego. Doesn't sound insecure. He stands up to both parties and the media without fear. Which is why so many Americans like him-- a lot of Americans who have felt insulted, ignored, and treated with contempt by establishment politicians, the Press, and opinion mongers who characterize them with baseless, unwarranted, negative accusations such as homophobes, misogynists, racists, mean spirited, closed minded, stupid, crass troglodytes, bitter clingers, Xenophobes, deplorable, and endless other ad hoc labels. Neither you, nor the elites, nor the Press seem to get it. That is a major reason why he got elected. And as you all continue to keep calling them the same things, including the laughable "un-American," the more they will support Trump.
If you want them to abandon Trump, give all Americans, not just the ones you like, the respect they deserve.
He may be quick to insult those who insult him. That's OK with me. I am not a turn your other cheek guy. And its more than OK with the "deplorables."
