I used to think I understood about irony, but after a lengthy exposure to the self-confessed confusion of US’alls, both here and among my work colleagues, my confidence is ebbing.

I think what the speaker meant was there is no cure for brain injury so they must be prevented. Perhaps he is speaking from personal experience, and hence the awkward construction. I didn't even know the President was actively involved in safety awareness.
