"Ronald Reagan has won the Presidential Election" was pretty terrifying.

Yeah but that's seven words.

"President Ronald Reagan" is three; three and seven average out to five.

I knew I shouldn't have dropped out of statistics

It's also six in the original quote, who cares about numbers anyway?

am i missing something or is there an extra joke because the guy cant count?

  1. we've - contractions are still a single word
  2. improved
  3. our
  4. mobile
  5. app

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.

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

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