WATCH: Trump Says He ‘Tested Positively Toward Negative’ For Coronavirus

President Donald Trump offered a confusing explanation of his “positively toward negative” coronavirus test result Thursday at the White House.

“And I tested very positively in a another sense. This morning,’ Trump said. “So Yeah, I tested positively toward negative, right? So I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning I tested negative. But that’s a way of saying it. Positively toward the negative”

Trump announced on May 7 that he would begin testing for COVID-19 daily after his valet tested positive for the illness. He said other high-level officials, including Vice President Mike Pence would also be tested every day.
