My post was a joke. In reality, identifying a bag of Doritos for a weapon sounds like the kind of mistake AI image recognition software can make. (and humans too - police have mistaken toys for actual weapons).
I was workshopping the joke. Imo its the media that's gone crazy about everything and trump is largely playing along; his most successful job is as a reality tv host/actor.
