It will (most likely) be up to courts to decide, at least as far as open records go.
My short opinion is, yes, they are.
M longer opinion is, it doesn't matter if Trump makes statements about how much coffee he drinks on a hot mic or if he has a really nicely printed letter about the dangers of drinking too much caffeine, both are statements by the POTUS. If he makes them in any public form, they're official statements. That's the nature of the office. If he wants to have personal reflection, then keep a diary, or hire a hooker.
