You're right that he's anti-establishment, but he's speaking hardcore Republicans language.

Fully 61% of self-identified supporters of Trump, who famously demanded to see Obama?s birth certificate as proof he was born in Hawaii, said they believed the President was not born in the U.S. Only 21% in the Public Policy Polling study said Obama was born in America; 18% weren?t sure.
By comparison, 44% of usual Republican primary voters overall said they?re convinced Obama was not born in the U.S., while 29% think he was and 26% couldn?t say. 40% believe Ted Cruz was born in the US.
About 54% of average likely GOP primary voters told the pollsters they think he?s a Muslim, while only 14% said they believe he?s a Christian, as he says, and 32% weren?t sure.
But among Trump voters, the percentage of those who believe Obama is Muslim jumps to 66%, while 12% say the President is Christian and 23% weren?t sure.
