Yes, but with limited success. He just can't put up the facade for very long. He usually defaults to his "I'll blow you off the face of the Earth if you don't comply" schtick.

All of Trump's remarks towards Iran make him come across as the instigator, rather than someone forced into this situation who's looking for a diplomatic way out.
