This week’s assignment was definitely one of my favorites – maybe even my favorite. I think the ability to analyze text and use word clouds to illustrate the results is absolutely incredible. I chose to analyze Trump’s Tweets; there were two options – Trump’s Tweets or Consumer Complaints. Regardless of political stance, I think that analyzing Trump’s Tweets is very interesting.
After importing the data (tweets from the past 3 months), we performed a number of tasks in order to determine Trump’s top twenty words in his tweets and then to separate these by sentiment – positive and negative. After this, we did a topic analysis. Some of these tasks were challenging, especially because this was a different sort of analysis. I did really enjoy it though! I will share an image for one of the word-clouds!
