File this under totally random speculation, but I wonder if some of Trump’s speaking style could be classified as ASMR or hypnosis. Specifically it’s when he reverts from his carnival barker impression to a quiet, subdued voice. It’s often at the end of a rant, and he repeats the statements multiple times. I noticed that I was getting creeped out by these quiet statements more than his shouting, and couldn’t fully explain why. Now I think that among his base, it may be a form of hypnotic suggestion.
