Claim 1: “Trump made more than 1,100 trades in July alone—nearly 40 times Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s total for all of last year”
CORROBORATED
Two independent web search results explicitly confirm that Trump's money managers made over 1,100 trades (specifically 1,152) in July, and that this number is nearly 40 times the total of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's trades. Wikipedia confirms Scott Bessent's role as Treasury Secretary starting in 2025.

Claim 3: “A governor’s race, a Senate contest and enough congressional contests to swing control of the House are all in play in Ohio”
SINGLE SOURCE
The specific claim regarding the combination of a governor's race, Senate contest, and House-swinging contests in Ohio is only explicitly mirrored in the Flipboard cross-reference. Other web results discuss 2028 maps or general Senate polls but do not explicitly confirm the specific set of races currently 'in play' as described in the claim.
