Putting nice words in the mouth of the root of most Americans' problems seems kinda cringe.

5 (five) words...
Original quote was "nine" and "I'm with the government and I'm here to help."
thanks for clarifying. i did not know contractions counted as one word
Yep. English is a very hard language (and I say this as a native speaker who, caring about proper grammar, still struggles with it).
Which is exactly the kind of thing you want to hear from the leader of the government.
It's a perfectly reasonable thing to say if your campaign and ideology hinges on you rooting out the corruption in government. It's a way of capturing the idea of the corruption that you want to fix.
Like all Republican messages in the last 60 years or so, it's bullshit, but there's nothing ironic about it.
Also, when the hell does anyone from the government show up to say that? If I need them to help me, I contact them. If they're contacting me, it's because they're helping someone else (employees, crime victims, the public).
Gubernment bad
government indeed bad when it's ran by fascists
Gubernment good
"Ronald Reagan has won the Presidential Election" was pretty terrifying.
Yeah but that's seven words.
It's also six in the original quote, who cares about numbers anyway?
"President-elect Ronald Wilson Reagan"
"President Ronald Reagan" is three; three and seven average out to five.
I knew I shouldn't have dropped out of statistics
Well, that adds up.
