Dominican paper uses Alec Baldwin's photo for Donald Trump

Sunday, 12 February 2017

A newspaper in Dominican Republic, El Nacional, mistakenly ran a photo of actor Alec Baldwin's convincing impersonation of Donald Trump instead of the US president himself.

The headline of the article published on Friday read "Trump says settlements in Israel don't favor peace," accompanied with a photo of a scowling Baldwin in a blond wig, who they referred to as US  president, placed next to a photo of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The paper yesterday apologized, stating;

"El Nacional apologizes to its readers and anyone who felt affected by the publication" of the photo"
