Cracking The Code On Trump Tweets (time.com)
jIyajbe writes: From Electoral-Vote.com: "A theory has been circulating that the Donald Trump tweets that come from an Android device are from the candidate himself, while the ones that come from an iPhone are the work of his staff. David Robinson, a data scientist who works for Stack Overflow, decided to test the theory. His conclusion: It's absolutely correct. Robinson used some very sophisticated algorithms to analyze roughly 1,400 tweets from Trump's timeline, and demonstrated conclusively that the iPhone tweets are substantively different than the Android tweets. The former tend to come later at night, and are vastly more likely to incorporate hashtags, images, and links. The latter tend to come in the morning, and are much more likely to be copied and pasted from other people's tweets. In terms of word choice, the iPhone tweets tend to be more neutral, with their three most-used phrases being 'join,' '#trump2016,' and '#makeamericagreatagain.' The Android tweets tend to be more emotionally charged, with their three most-used phrases being 'badly,' 'crazy,' and 'weak.'"
reifman adds: In an excellent forensic text analysis of Trump's tweets with the Twitter API, data geek David Robinson demonstrates Trump authors his angriest, picture-less, hashtag-less Android tweets often in the morning, while staff tweet from an iPhone with pictures, hashtags and greater joy mostly in the middle of the day. Robinson's report was inspired by a tweet by artist Todd Vaziri. As for why Robinson decided to look into Trump's tweets, he told TIME, "For me it's more about finding a really interesting story, a case where people suspect something, but don't have the data to back it up. For me it was much more about putting some quantitive details to this story that has been going around than it was about proving something about Trump's campaign."
Imagine if any journalist put as much effort into ANYTHING Hillary Clinton does. What's up with the thousands of work-related emails she didn't turn over? Who's gullible enough to believe she installed a private server to send pictures of her grandkids? Why do many of the most repressive dictatorships in the world keep giving so much money to the Clinton foundation?
The only answer you ever get to any of these questions is "Shut up you can't prove anything" which is true, but the same can be said of Al Capone and OJ Simpson. We're just expected to take the word of a politician with countless lies already under her belt.
Trump will be president the dishonest press including failing new york times don't have a chance against the will of the people!
The NYT sleeper cell woke up, that's what happened. After almost ten years of watering down Obama scandals and witholding evidence of criminal misconduct, they were anxious to get back in offensive mode, like a platoon of green berets who got bored of doing UN blanket distribution duty.
lucm, indeed.
Media votes 89% Democrat, per poll data. Trump makes a joke, media says he attacked someone. Hillary kills people and media pretends it didn't happen.
Hillary literally got rich by kicking old people out of their homes via predatory lending in Whitewater. Then the guy who knew all the details, Vince Foster, ends up dead. But all we hear about is Trump jousting with a baby.
I'll pick the asshole anyday over the fraud who claims to be a champion of women, and yet in the 90s handled her husband's 'Bimbo Eruption' unit, trashed the women who accused him of sexual harassment, and now, it turns out, helped a 41 year old pedophile walk after raping a 12 year old girl. Woman's right's advocate, my ass!!! I'd vote for Abu Baqr al Baghdadi as president before I vote for Hitlery Rotten KKKlinton
