What changed? Was Hitler thrown out on his mustache?

No, the Third Reich even ensured that Jews whose property was destroyed were paid their insurance, which the Reich seized. Then, in a blinding display of victim shaming, Goering proposed that the Jews themselves were at fault for this and were charged an over 1bl. reichsmark fine.

Did people that previously supported Hitler's reforms, stop supporting him? Did the US ambassador in England disown Hitler and his regime?

People still thought Hitler was a righteous dude. That is, until he attacked the USSR and left the enlightened people crushed as everything was A-OK, until Hitler attacked uncle Joe.

Luckily for the world, FDR was not stupid and knew what Hitler, his regime and his legions of followers were about.
