The next four years are going to be involve a lot of carefully-worded fact-checking.
I remember having a similar issue when the head of a large FSU gas firm claimed that something was a fiction because IMHO he didn't want it to be true. I couldn't call him out for making shit up, though, so I basically pointed out that for his claim to be valid, hundreds and hundreds of people across various private companies and public agencies would all have to be part of a shadowy conspiracy to falsify international trade records and build fake energy infrastructure. Which made it fairly clear how much credence we gave his claim.
