“The Office” had an episode like this where Michael was confused as to why Kevin testing negative for cancer was a good thing. Of course, Michael Scott was a fictional idiot. Trump is the real thing.

Me to my mom in high school when I failed a calculus test: "I tested very positively in another sense so— this morning. Yeah. I tested positively toward negative, right. So. I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning I tested negative."

Did Trump just say he tested positively negative today for COVID19??
What does that even mean?

I’m positively confused by the negative results the president says he got, after he tested very positively...or was it positively toward negative? 🤔 https://t.co/WZnwfvTiyp

It's free-form poetry.

And I tested very positively
In another sense.
So this morning. I tested positively toward negative
Right?
So no.
I tested perfectly this morning.
Meaning I tested negative.

But that's a way of saying it,
Positively
Toward the negative. https://t.co/SZ2z8gnhSq
