Alec Baldwin does a pretty convincing Donald Trump impersonation — just ask a newspaper in the Dominican Republic.
El Nacional published an apology on Saturday after mistakenly running a photo of the actor doing his impression of the U.S. President on “Saturday Night Live” instead of Mr. Trump himself.
Accompanying an article in its Friday edition headlined in Spanish: “Trump says settlements in Israel don’t favour 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 Mr. Baldwin imitating Mr. 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 apologises to its readers and anyone who felt affected by the publication of the photo,” the statement said.
Mr. Baldwin on Saturday presided as the guest host of the NBC comedy show, serving up yet another Trump masquerade.
