Disclaimer: arguably a quant but definitely not this kind. In this specific case you only need access to Trump his tweets, which you can get without parsing and evaluating the firehose (expensive to get and process). > In particular, basic NLP and sentiment analysis is pretty easy, especially like in this case when you're dealing with a very limited vocabulary. Exactly. With Trump's tweets you can probably find easy correlations between sentiment (good or bad) and a select range of words as well as tweet times, whether he is in office or not, whether it was tweeted from his android[1] or not. Statistically speaking you can also look at his overall sentiment. Eg. simply always short the market whenever he tweets might be the profitable move 80% of the time.
