Newspaper Mistakenly Runs Picture of Alec Baldwin on SNL Instead of Trump

[CatWoman]

This was no laughing matter for a major newspaper in the Dominican Republic.

El Nacional issued an apology Saturday after readers quickly pointed out it used a picture of Alec Baldwin playing President Donald Trump on "Saturday Night Live" — instead of the true Trump's image — for a story about U.S.-Israeli relations.

The paper said on its website that the gaffe went "unnoticed during the reviewing of page 19" because of a "mix-up of photos" sent by The Associated Press.

"The picture was sent that day by the Associated Press with the name of the actor and the program, but was placed as if it were the one of Trump," the paper said. "El Nacional apologizes to the readers and to all those who felt sincerely affected by the publication. Alec Baldwin imitates Trump on one of the most important shows in the U.S."

5. Baldwin physically looks the most like Twitler, but I prefer this guy's impression

IMO, John DiDomenico, who does the Trump voice on the Conan O'Brien show does a funnier job nailing the hand gestures and the inflection.

6. It's not a mistake.

It's an "alternative fact." They knew exactly what they were doing.
