139 - Daily profile by app

Charts 131 to 139 are a series of tweets from a spreadsheet I created that logs tweets from US President Donald Trump, and appends them with some other stats to create analysis. Some things you should know:

- All the charts are in United States Eastern Standard Time
- Sentiment analysis is approximate, but interesting
- The election was on 09/11/2016
- Trump was sworn in on 20/01/2017
- For a long time, Trump was tweeting from his own Android phone - this seemed to completely stop around March 2017. Before that happened, we could draw some interesting insights from the app that the tweets came from
- Most of these charts show a full year, 03/08/2016 to 03/08/2017, unless shown or stated otherwise.

The chart below shows the number of tweets posted by half-hour chunks, sorted by app - with Android tweets coming earlier in the morning and iPhone tweets spread quite equally.
