I am not equating Trump to China/Russia.

For Iranians, USA is strong foreign country that is hostile to them.

For Americans, Russia/China are (relatively) strong foreign countries that (they think) are hostile to them.

As Americans would NOT like if Russia/China was influencing their internal matters (Russia gate ?), so would Iranians NOT like if USA was deciding who is going to govern over them.

First, they are a proud nation with long history. Second, they have a very good reason (many historical precedents) to believe USA will not act in the interests of Iranian people, but in their own (and Israel's) interests.

Thanks for clarifying.
