That's a dodge. It's no different from saying, Yes, it's evidence, but it's inconclusive on its own.
It's not evidence at all. It's a claim. If you believe a claim, it's because of credibility and plausibility, not evidence. Trump claims to have assaulted women. Given his history and personality, his claim seems plausible; although he's also a braggart, so it's also plausible it was just talk.
Anecdotes and testimony have to be analyzed and compared to what is known in order to determine if they're true.
