Trump: “I Tested Positively Toward Negative, I Tested Perfectly This Morning, Positively Toward The Negative”

Yahoo News reports:



“I tested very positively in another sense,” Trump said on the South Lawn before departing for Michigan to visit a Ford plant that is assembling ventilators.

“So this morning, yeah, I tested positively toward negative, right? So no, I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning, meaning I tested negative. But that’s a way of saying it, positively toward the negative.”

Trump has had trouble in the past with medical terminology regarding test results. A letter released by his personal physician in 2015 — which the doctor later said was dictated to him by Trump — said his recent physical exam “showed only positive results.”
