trumpSentiment

A sentiment analysis of President Trump's tweets.

Exploratory data analysis is performed on President Trump's tweets, incorporating the Twint tool.

Twint is an advanced Twitter scraping & OSINT tool written in Python that doesn't use Twitter's API, allowing you to scrape a user's followers, following, Tweets and more while evading most API limitations. More information below.

Use scrapeTweets.py to collect the latest 5000 Tweets from Trump, clean them, and save them down in a .csv format. Simple change the output path.

Note: trumpSentimentWordCloud.py is a standalone module used to generate the word cloud. It undergoes a different cleaning process than that in scrapeTweets.py and is used solely for the purposes of creating the word cloud.
