This repo contains data sets that students can use to practice wrangling data. 

It contains:

* `trump-tweets.csv`: Donald Trump's last 3,200 tweets (as of 2019-08-23).

In order for the code that collects the data to work (i.e., `trump-tweets.R`), you must create a developer app and authenticate via access tokens. See Steps 1 and 2b from the rtweet [tutorial](https://rtweet.info).

```{r retweets-over-time, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}

# load packages

library(tidyverse)

library(lubridate)

# load data

df_raw <- read_csv("trump-tweets.csv")

# wrangle data

df <- df_raw %>% 

  mutate(date = date(created_at),

         retweets = retweet_count) %>%

  select(date, retweets) 

  

# plot data

ggplot(df, aes(x = date, y = retweets)) + 

  geom_point() + 

   scale_y_log10(breaks = scales::trans_breaks("log10", function(x) 10^x),

                 labels = scales::trans_format("log10", scales::math_format(10^.x))) +

  annotation_logticks(sides = "l") +

  geom_smooth() + 

  theme_bw() +  

  labs(x = "Date",

       y = "Retweets",

       title = "Number of Retweets Across Time")
