The Obese Orange went on national television to comfort and reassure a nation. 

How could he fail? Let us count the ways.

First, his speech was written by Steven Miller and Jared Kushner. 

Miller, trying to qualify as a human being but failing every test except the one that gives him credentials in the TrumPutin regime, wrote the part about "foreign" virus and travel bans. 

Kushner, trying to qualify as an adult but failing in every regard except toadying for his dad-in-law, wrote the other incoherent parts, presumably including the "moment in time" nonsense.

Second, TrumPutin can't read and looked like an imbecile trying to pronounce complex words like "country."

Third, TrumPutin exhausted himself trying to look sincere, and was winded by the time he was halfway through the speech. He tried to manage sincerity, but could only get to grotesque.

Fourth, he has never told the truth, so the speech was ruined even before it began.

Fifth, he's an idiot.

Sixth and so on, see above.
