Newspaper mistakenly uses picture of Alec Baldwin’s SNL Trump, internet goes nuts

For those of you who don’t know, Alec Baldwin’s been playing Trump on Saturday Night Live (SNL) for longer than Trump’s been playing politics and he’s pretty damned good at it (even thought Trump himself loathes the show). Don’t believe us, check out this little clip for reference:

Anyway, a newspaper in the Dominican Republic was so convinced by Baldwin’s portrayal, that they used it as an official image of the US president.

Needless to say, the internet thanked them in the best way it knows how:

Dear El Nacional, Alec Baldwin will be pleased as punch. But let’s hope the Dominican Republic isn’t added to Trump’s banned countries list pic.twitter.com/vt4NJe4NJf
