Wrong "Trump" On Dominican Newspaper

A newspaper in the Dominican Republic has apologised for misidentifying US actor Alec Baldwin, who has frequently satirised President Donald Trump on US television, as Trump himself.

El Nacional published the still photograph of Baldwin playing Trump in a TV sketch next to a photo of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on page 19.

The article, published Friday, was about Israeli settlements, and the caption said the photograph was of Trump.

The newspaper said the picture was sent the same day by the Associated Press with the name of the actor and information about Saturday Night Live, the satirical television program on which Baldwin has frequently played Trump.

“El Nacional apologises to readers and to all those who felt affected by the publication,” the newspaper said on Saturday.

Baldwin has played Trump to comedic acclaim on Saturday Night Live since last year’s primaries to determine the Republican Party’s presidential nominee.

Trump has expressed his displeasure with Baldwin’s portrayal, saying Baldwin’s frequent impressions of him “stink.”

Meanwhile, Mr Baldwin presided as guest host of the NBC comedy show again on the weekend, serving up yet another Trump masquerade.

In his spoof, President Trump made good on a tweeted vow to “see you in court” directed at the three Ninth Circuit federal judges who last week refused to lift a stay preventing his immigration ban from being enforced.

His chosen venue: “The People’s Court,” where he was suing the three judges. “I’m right, they’re wrong,” Trump erupted. “I want the travel ban reinstated. I also want $725.” Then, as a character witness, he brought in Russian president Vladimir Putin (Beck Bennett), who praised Trump as “my little American Happy Meal.” In another sketch, Baldwin, making his record 17th “SNL” hosting appearance, took social relevance to an outrageous level as an ad man brainstorming a Cheetos commercial for the Super Bowl. In another, he was an obstetrician examining Beyonce, pregnant with twins (played by a chatty Kenan Thompson and surprise guest Tracey Morgan).

Opening the show, Melissa McCarthy returned with her portrayal of hot-tempered White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer that wowed viewers on last week’s show. “I said that wrong when I said it,” “Spicer” seethed when asked about a confusing remark. “Then you wrote it. Which makes YOU wrong.” Finally, losing all control, she mowed down the press corps on her motorised podium.
