SANTO DOMINGO -- 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 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."

I don't wear my hair-doo like Trump. I am balding on the crown of my head but have a lot of hair.

I've got to buy some black Kiwi shoe polish for my graying hair.

Thanks Fred. I was told today that I am starting to lQQk like an old man; I am told that the responsibilities of life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness are getting to me. I need renewed vigor with my employees for proper respect.
I pay the tax bill and still not word of federal tax relief from the BULLSHIT of Trump.

There's a few posters here who would cherish that "honor"
Get this - some town in Italy is building a Trump statue.
How long before some cultist here gets the same idea?
