Nice, very interesting! He seems to tweet surprisingly a high count of positive tweets (51%). But how much of this tweets are fake news and lies is another question... nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/23...

Yeah, that resulted surprising to me! I've heard that he's not the only one tweeting from his account, but he has a team for this. That might be a possible reason. That's why it results interesting to analyze the polarity of tweets that come from different sources.

Well technically these sentiment calculations should be taken with a grain of salt. you use VaderSentiment library as well and compare both values of sentiments to get better insight.
