Create a Simple Wordcloud using Donald Trump's Tweets

wordcloud.py

import json
from wordcloud import WordCloud
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


with open('data/trump_tweets/condensed_2018.json') as f:
    data = json.load(f)

type(data), len(data)

text_list = []
for tweet in data:
    text_list.append(tweet['text'])

# Combine all the Tweets into one giant String.
text = "".join(text_list)


#Do some light text manipulation. Drop "stop words" from appearing in the Wordcloud
drop_words = ['&', 't.co', ' now ', 'https']
for dw in drop_words:
    text = text.replace(dw, "")


# Generate a word cloud image
wordcloud = WordCloud().generate(text)

wordcloud = WordCloud(max_font_size=40).generate(text)
plt.figure()
plt.imshow(wordcloud, interpolation="bilinear")
plt.axis("off")
plt.show()
