Claim 3: “Throughout US President Donald Trump's second term in office, traders have been betting millions of dollars just before he makes major announcements.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is directly reported in a cross-reference and a web search result. However, the evidence provided does not offer corroboration from two or more independent news organizations reporting this specific claim about 'traders betting millions' during a *second term*. The web search results mention betting/speculation in the context of Trump's announcements, but the cross-reference and one web search result are the primary sources for this specific assertion.
