You have more faith in Trump and Iran than I do. I "get" that a lot of Iranian "people" wish to be free, but they have a full on theocracy and the related inquisition state. They may have a president, but he answers to an ayatollah (something most people in the west don't realize still exists). And their government is still largely comprised of those who took part in the seizing of the Iranian embassy and hostage taking.
Respecting embassies and such is diplomacy 101, if the current government is the same one who can't understand that basic, basic principle then any form of meaningful diplomacy simply is not possible. Even the Saudi's can understand those things...or at least better than Iran can.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
