PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Trump Be Trump ? Breitbart News has been provided with an exclusive preview of and excerpt from the new book   Let  Trump  Be  Trump   by Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie  published by Center Street and available on December 5  2017.
From Let  Trump  Be Trump:
âI want you to know I have the greatest air force in the world â  Trump  began  unprompted  in Coreyâs first meeting with the candidate. âIâve got a 757  Iâve got a Citation X. And Iâve got three helicopters.â Corey sat there with a half smile on his face  not knowing quite how to respond.
When  Donald Trump  listed the aircraft  he  had during Coreyâs job interview  Corey shrugged it off as a random boast. But  Trump  wasnât boasting.  He  was pointing out the military equipment  he  had for the war ahead. A candidate with a jet has a formidable advantage over rivals without one. A candidate with an air force was going to be tough to beat.
When you flew with  Trump   you flew first class times ten. Except  that is  when it came time to eat.
The first time Dave told his wife Susan that he was going to be on Trump Force One  she asked him to take some photos of what they served him to eat on the plane. She had read somewhere that  Mr. Trump  had a personal chef who traveled with  him . When dinner came on the flight  Dave pulled out his BlackBerry and snapped a picture of the bag of McDonaldâs hamburgers and unopened package of Oreo cookies and emailed it to Susan.
On Trump Force One there were four major food groups: McDonaldâs  Kentucky Fried Chicken  pizza  and Diet Coke. There were also ancillary groups  including Vienna Fingers and the ubiquitous Oreo  before the boycott (after it was Hydrox). The reason the package of Oreos was unopened was because  Mr. Trump  would never eat from a previously opened package. If youâve seen the Seinfeld episode in which George double-dips  his  chip  you have a pretty good idea of the bossâs reasoning. Packages of cookies  along with small airliner-size bags of pretzels and potato chips  filled the planeâs cupboards. An army might march on its stomach  but Trumpâs team flew on junk food. And those snacks would have to sustain us during long flights and even longer days.
The candidate would hardly ever eat lunch and would eat dinner only after he finished the last event of the day. Weâd be in the jet or on the road from seven or eight a.m.  make however many scheduled stops we had  and after the last one  perhaps around nine p.m.   Mr. Trump  would clap  his  hands and say  âLetâs eat!â And the food needed to be hot and ready for  him . Some of the time  especially when  he  was pleased with  his  performance at a rally or event   he âd say  âDo you think I deserve a malted today? I think I deserve one.â  Trump   a city kid  grew up drinking malteds  so thatâs what he always called a milkshake. Whatever you want to call it  it better be there and it better still be thick.
When traveling in the air with the boss  you also learned pretty quickly to like Elton John.  Donald Trump  really likes Elton John. Anthony âthe Moochâ Scaramucci got in all sorts of hot waterâwhich is not at all an unfamiliar position for himâwhen he told an interviewer that Elton John would play at President Trumpâs inaugural. It had been wishful thinking on Moochâs part  probably because heâd been on the plane when the boss had âTiny Dancerâ or âRocket Manâ playing as loud as the concert-level speakers could bring it. Weâre telling you  when the boss cranks up Elton  you canât hear yourself think. The music is loud enough to rattle your brain.

SOLUTION: Neutral

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Matt McMullen ? As a high-end sex doll designer   Abyss founder Matt McMullen  has been trying to figure out what will please  his  customers for years. Realism  and how close to come to it  is never far from  his  mind. Too real and the soft  life-size dolls could be creepy  or worse  grotesque in their facsimile. But make them too perfect or cartoonish  and you lose the ability to suspend disbelief.
Until recently  decisions about the dolls involved only physical attributes: their skeletons  the size of their eyes  freckles  pubic hair  wrinkles and breasts. Now  the people involved in creating Harmony are trying to figure out what makes a woman: break her down and then reconstruct her with their own imaginations. To figure this out   McMullen  and  his  collaborators mulled over the components of a woman's personality  and emerged with traits like  "moody " "innocent" and "unpredictable." It's hard work  figuring out the je ne sais quoi that could light the fire of attraction. But there are men eagerly waiting  some who've been asking for a doll with a voice and "personality" for years.
Of course  a doll that looks and feels like a woman is one thing. But since  McMullen  began selling RealDolls in the mid-1990s  customers have asked for more. They want movement  conversation  personality. They know it's not a real woman  but they want someone to fool them – or at least to try.
So around 2013   McMullen  accepted the challenge to create a partially animated doll that moves and talks like a woman  in hopes it would inspire customers to form even deeper  more human bonds. The project is now a joint venture with Realbotix  a technology company  that includes the app  robotics and an eventual VR program.
"Human relationships have changed drastically over the last 10 to 20 years "  McMullen  says. "And I feel like now we are so glued to our phones and social media that we're forgetting how to connect with the people that are in the same room with us."  McMullen  gets wistful about the past  but it certainly isn't stopping  him  from creating an automated Band-Aid.
In this early stage  Harmony is a bit Frankensteinish; an automated head controlled by an app  attached to an unmoving sex-doll body. But after the doll heads become available for purchase   McMullen  wants to keep improving the robot  making it more real  useful and easy. Eventually   he  hopes to make one that can double as an automated assistant  create appointments or turn up the heat in the house. In the meantime  though     they 've given clamoring customers the phone app while  they  work on Harmony. There is still some work to do.
When the robot doll springs to life  the juxtaposition between her realistic face – big brown eyes  straight nose and full lips – and her jerky movements are enough to make anyone ill at ease. Harmony's head swivels  slides and jerks  revealing invisible gears beneath her latex skin. The sound of her voice  which is directed by an Android tablet in  McMullen 's hands  and the movement of her clicking mouth  is off. It's lip-sync delay that occurs when robot connects to the app. "We're working on that "  McMullen  says.
"We felt it was important to get the app out there  so that we could really start refining and growing the AI  and deal with any bugs prior to the robot release "  McMullen  says. It also allowed Realbotix to get feedback from customers – a lot of it.
"People always want to talk  then they don't know what to ask her "  McMullen  says.
