Sentiment Analysis Python

This document defines a TwitterClient class to analyze sentiment from tweets. The class authenticates with Twitter credentials, cleans tweets by removing links and special characters, classifies sentiment as positive, negative or neutral using TextBlob, and retrieves tweets by query and count. The main function calls the class to get tweets about "Donald Trump", categorizes them by sentiment, and prints sentiment percentages and sample tweets.
