An analysis of Dr. Ford's testimony suggests it contains "hypnotic suggestions" designed to resonate with a female audience, specifically the claim that being silenced was more traumatic than the attempted assault. The use of a "70s porn music" bed in media replays of her testimony is noted for its atmospheric effect. Meanwhile, Ford's GoFundMe has reportedly raised nearly a million dollars, leading to speculation about money laundering and the involvement of attorney Michael Avenatti.

Scott Adams analyzes Donald Trump through the lens of a trained hypnotist, focusing on the president's mastery of persuasion tools. He argues that Trump is effective because he is "immune to shame" and uses techniques that bypass rational thinking. Adams suggests that people's inability to see these techniques leads to cognitive dissonance and strong emotional reactions.
