This is an audiovisual word cloud of words Twitter user @realdonaldtrump used adjectivally before nouns. Words used that way more often are larger and louder. Words are panned left or right so they can be more easily distinguished, so this is best heard in stereo.

In order to make my iOS app, NastyWriter (https://apps.apple.com/at/app/nastywriter/id1375341998?l=en), which puts a gratuitous insult before every noun in the text you put into it, I needed a collection of gratuitous insults. Naturally, I wrote a macOS app to read all the tweets (other than retweets) from https://www.thetrumparchive.com, and find anything that was used adjectivally before a noun. For NastyWriter, I only used the words and phrases used as gratuitous insults, but here you can see everything that my app correctly tagged as being used adjectivally before a noun. There are some nouns in there, but they are only counted when used as attributive nouns to modify other nouns, e.g. 'NATO countries', or 'ObamaCare website'.
