Donald Trump launched the digital collection’s Series 2 on Tuesday.

Trump NFTs — Bullish and Bearish Simultaneously?
Seemingly, two events induced the surge and plunge in the market performance of this NFT collection. First, former US President Donald Trump announced the launch of the new Series 2 of the Trump NFT collection on Tuesday.
The collection’s Series 1 presented 45,000 NFTs on the Polygon blockchain. It included 13,956 owners. Out of those, 65% of the accounts held more than one NFT. The newly launched Series 2 comprises 47,000 collectibles.
Second, the giant American media company Fox News confirmed settling the defamation lawsuit against Dominion, a US voting machine company, with $787.5 million. This Dominion v. Fox News lawsuit update might be an indirect stimulus impacting the NFTs.
Notably, this 2021-originated suit rose due to Fox News falsely accusing Dominion of rigging the 2020 US election in favor of President Joe Biden. The broadcaster’s report on that election was alleged to be biased toward former US President Donald Trump. Hence, this event landed on the suspect list of reasons that trigger the trend of this exclusive NFT collection.
