Show HN: Asktrump.co – A Press Conference Simulation

asktrump.co

Very interesting project. How did you pull this off?

I entered "Where are the masks?" and got a funny message saying: "Very dangerous & corrupt, federal agencies are working together to protect us from masks.....on the recommendation of the whitehouse, we think our masks are corrupt...people know i know this!! i’m sure of this -- dumb, masks, dumb!"

It was primarily: https://github.com/spencermountain/compromise

I thought about doing more intelligent language parsing, but figured for what I was looking to accomplish, this would do.

Then I made a collection of his "trumpisms" -- such as https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/21/politics/donald-trump-preside... and injected the noun.

This submission hit #1 on HN for a few seconds before being disappeared.

Ah, was wondering where all the traffic was coming from.
