Donaldo Trumpilni is a twitter bot that generates tweets in the mashed-up literary style of Donald Trump and Benito Mussolini.
The tweets are generated via a Markov Chain algorithm implemented in Ruby. The text data is stored in a postgreSQL database with each individual word as a record.
Trump's text data comes from his twitter feed; Mussolini's from his autobiography.
No. As Trump's tweets come in, they are algorithmically converted into Markov-Chain ready format and stored in the database. For each tweet that is added into the database, a single sentence from Mussolini's autobiography is also added, to maintain that much sought-after Trump/Mussolini balance.
Trumpilini will occasionally tweet @ one of his friends. He'll also follow back anybody who follows him. He may even retweet you if he feels like it.
