If the President couldn't possibly be mistaken, or lie, about such a thing, then Trump, being a President, would be equally believable as Biden. That is your claim, that the President should be believed, even if he presented no evidence.

Do you get how this works? Is this microphone on?

PS: This question is absurd on another level, as evidence would be presented to support such a claim, or else it wouldn't be made. It's not Jerry the gas station attendant holding forth on his personal opinion, it's the planet's most powerful politician making carefully considered statements that will have profound effects on the world.

Ah, the "argument from incredulity" fallacy.
