Dominican paper apologizes for using Baldwin photo for Trump
EL NACIONAL VIA AP
This screen grab of the Friday digitized version of El Nacional’s print edition shows comedian Alec Baldwin doing his impression of President Donald Trump on “Saturday Night Live,” next to a photo of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the paper’s international page with the Spanish headline: “Trump says settlements in Israel don’t favor peace.” The Spanish caption under Baldwin’s photo reads: “Donald Trump, president of U.S.”
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic >> Alec Baldwin does a pretty convincing Donald Trump impersonation – just ask a newspaper in the Dominican Republic.
El Nacional published an apology today after mistakenly running a photo of the actor doing his impression of the U.S. president on “Saturday Night Live” instead of Trump himself.
Accompanying an article in its Friday edition headlined in Spanish: “Trump says settlements in Israel don’t favor peace,” a photo of a scowling Baldwin in a blond wig appears next to a photo of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a statement posted on its website, the Dominican newspaper said a photo of Baldwin imitating Trump — over the caption “Donald Trump, president of the USA” — was published on page 19 and the mistake went unnoticed by the newspaper’s staff.
“El Nacional apologizes to its readers and anyone who felt affect by the publication” of the photo, the statement said.
Trump has lashed out at the way “Saturday Night Live” has lampooned him, saying Baldwin’s semi-regular portrayal of him “stinks.”

Accident? Yea right.
Trump is a vindictive man, they can expect no aid for the Dominican Republic for the next 4 years.
Hilarious! Trump must be having a cow.
The Chump should be flattered. I’m sure Melania would rather be in Alec’s arms instead of the Chumps. Hee hee hee
too funny. media should start a contest, who can publish the most look-alike trump in its stories.
This circus is getting more hilarious by the minute. I guess fake news is contagious. I can’t stop laughing this article just made my day.
Delightful!
What else do you expect from a Third World Banana Republic? Every liberal and his brother is trying to outdo each other in their obsessive desire to delegitimize our President. Just goes to show you how much credibility they have: NONE.
