I changed "every" to "many", I wasn't intending to paint that with a broad brush. But they are making public statements with access to information that we don't have. So who's to say they are wrong? Personally I am no fan of Trump but on this particular subject I can't say he's right or wrong, and he has more information than I do on it.

Anyone with any experience with any public statements any of them have made that have subsequently been subject to scrutiny on virtually any topic is in a position to say that them saying something based on nondisclosed evidence on an issue that aligns with factional/partisan propaganda interests has, at best, zero evidentiary value. (In Trump’s case specifically, his habit of stating falsehoods even when it doesn’t particularly help his case might lead one to conclude it has actually negative evidentiary value.)
