The debate on social media rages on over a Dominican newspaper using an image of actor Alec Baldwin portraying President Donald Trump in a story on the U.S. moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Was it a mistake or was El Nacional trolling the president?

The photo has been “corrected” online, according to WCVB-TV, an ABC-affiliate in Boston, which suggests the Baldwin photo was accidental.

Either way, the incident provided social media users when lots of entertainment, particularly for the president’s critics.
Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:
@terrence_mccoy @valeriehahn Maybe they did it on purpose to troll Trump.

@terrence_mccoy @MMS1282 Who says it was a mistake? Maybe intentional. Alec sure is more attractive than @realDonaldTrump ???

@terrence_mccoy And Trump says his impersonation is bad. Apparently not. ?

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
