R: text analysis of Trump’s tweets

Agreed, the article you linked is quite a well-laid out read and as the originator I'm glad to have seen it first in that context.

Back to the subject at hand, seeing the drastic difference in tone only goes to support a hypothesis that Trump himself is constantly at odds with his staff et al. If not in actual statements, at least the sentiment of the statements. Refusing to buy into, well, softer diction would be another false claim, it might seem.

I'm having a science-fiction-in-real-life​ moment here where I’m imagining a person’s public persona being managed, with or without their consent, by an AI designed to determine whether their public posts/comments are authentic or not. We live in weird times and they’re getting weirder.

According to her own Twitter about she "signs" the tweets she sends on her own.

The first link discusses the changes in Ronald Reagan's speech, especially unscripted press conferences over a number of years. They compared the number of unique words used, number of repetitive words used etc.

I don't think you could do the same analysis on Trump's tweets because people can take more time to compose their tweets, choosing apt words for the context. Plus tweets are much shorter, so you'd have a smaller corpus with fewer unique words to begin with.

Still, definitely an interesting idea that you had there.
