Alec Baldwin is set to host Saturday Night Live this week, and there likely will be Donald Trump impressions galore.
But before then, Dominican Republic newspaper El Nacional had a little fun with Baldwin and Trump on its own, albeit unintentionally. In its Friday editions, the newspaper used a mug shot of Baldwin portraying Trump instead of a photo of Trump himself to run with an article about Israel.

If Trump saw that, he clearly would be outraged. He’s tweeted about Baldwin’s impression of him multiple times, saying the mimicry “just can’t get any worse” and blasting SNL for being biased.
But the newspaper’s mug shot selection was another twist in their relationship saga. And the internet found it hilarious.

@craigmelvin @AlecBaldwin is so good at doing Trump @ElNacional_RD used his picture instead of the latter.

Ha! Is Trump now going to have a fit about El Nacional? Yeah, probably. Hey @AlecBaldwin – nice article for the scrapbook. 😉 https://t.co/npQnbh189n

As for El Nacional’s response to the mistake? It was somewhere along the lines of, “My bad, y’all.”
