am i missing something or is there an extra joke because the guy cant count?
5 (five) words...
Original quote was "nine" and "I'm with the government and I'm here to help."
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.
Gubernment bad
government indeed bad when it's ran by fascists
Gubernment good
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).
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).
