The latest GOP debate was sparked with controversy when Republican populist, Donald Trump, demanded that beloved Nick Junior icon, Dora the Explorer, pay for the whimsical obstacles to be erected in her path.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsidering how much ad money American corporations have poured into Dora,\u201d fumed Trump, \u201csurely she can afford to pay for her own damn obstacles.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump (whose photo is featured) puts his foot down when it comes to entertaining six-year old Dora\u2019s antics. In the place of enchanted castles, spooky forests, and giant blue hills (revealed to be chickens), he has argued for a \u201cbig beautiful wall to keep the bad people out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDora will carry on, legally, as she was intended to do,\u201d explained Trump. \u201cKids can learn the words for \u2018grey\u2019 and \u2018big,\u2019 and they can count the guard towers or some shit. I know a thing or two about walls, *I\u2019m great with China!\u201d<\/p>\n
When informed that Dora was, in fact, a fictional character, Trump proposed cutting all government funding of Nick Junior.<\/p>\n
