Features

• Takes a pic of the target's Twitter status so that you have a copy of it even if they delete the original
• Can be used on public Twitter user by changing the Variables at the top of the Python file

Requirements

• Requires phantomjs binary in the same dir as the script (unless you alter the script)
• Requires capture.js in the same dir as the script (unless you alter the script)
• Create the temp file (by default /tmp/trump_lasttweet) and put in there a number for the tweet you want to start at.
  • To get this number, visit the Twitter profile of your target (such as https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/)
  • Find a tweet you'd like to start at and press the date link for when it was tweeted
  • That should bring up a URL that looks like https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/883064346519187456
  • The number at the end of the URL (the whole number) needs to go into the temp file
