CNN analyst Kirsten Powers accused President Trump of using "racial tropes" and following a "white supremacist playbook" by questioning the intelligence of black public figures like Don Lemon, Maxine Waters, and LeBron James. The term "trope" is analyzed as a figurative use of language that the media is using to build a case of systemic racism against the administration.
