Actually since Donald Trump occupies the seat of President of the United States, that makes his statements news whether or not you consider it to be a reliable source.
High Ranking government officials are sources of news via the power of the seat, not via the person occupying the seat. The power is not derived from the person, but rather the seat, and the seat derives power from the constitution.
