I never bought into the 'secret Muslim' bullshit about Obama, but I found it incredibly convenient how all his school records got sealed up like they were the nuclear launch codes.
The running theory is that he had applied for student aid as a foreign student (with his name and appearance, it's unlikely anyone would've caught it). If that had come out in 2008 it wouldn't have done his campaign any favors (I won't say if it would have killed it outright, because the media was all in with their Magic Negro dicksucking).
Stuff has surfaced where he billed himself as Kenyan back before he had serious Presidential aspirations, because it made him seem exotic and like he was an immigrant success story, and also appealed to the demographic who thought "The less American the better." Of course then that stuff gets blown off when it surfaced as just part of "birther conspiracy theory", or "Well that was just newspaper copy that I'm sure he had no control over", so there y'go. (And his grades were probably shit as @Vorhtbame said. Add in a dash of writing papers praising socialism, since he also used to be a member of the Democratic Socialists of America club or whatever, another thing his supporters tried to pretend never happened.)
Really I think more than anything, it's about his personal identity. He almost certainly had American birthright citizenship, but I really don't think he saw himself as an American. Besides spending a lot or most of his time growing up overseas (it's really hard to say, his past is such a mingling of half-truth, lies, and just not talking about it), I don't think he had a sense of identity beyond himself. Similarly I don't think he was actually, sincerely a Muslim (because I don't think he worshiped anything more than he worshiped himself), but from his various actions it's pretty clear that he thought Muslims were "the good guys" and probably had a preferred sect, probably just from association growing up. I just don't think he liked America, he was raised by and spent his entire life around people that openly despised it, and even his harridan of a wife outright said that his election was the first time she'd ever been proud to be American, so it's not like it's a huge leap.
Contrast Trump who's probably about as American as you can get, right down to the boorish, brash attitude. He comes off as incredibly sincere (there were articles about how this was a bad thing early in his presidency) and when he spouts about how great he thinks America is you believe it, because he doesn't hide how great it's been for him to be American.
