It's fair to say that Alec Baldwin's impression of Donald Trump is one of the best things to happen to Saturday Night Live in a while. And it turns out that he’s so convincing, a newspaper in the Dominican Republic accidentally used a photo of the actor instead of the president in an article discussing Trump’s stance on Israeli settlements.

According to the Huffington Post, El Nacional issued a correction online after the screw up on Friday, but by then, the image was already circulating online. And Twitter users are loving it.

The paper stated the photo was sent to them by the Associated Press, correctly revealing that it was Alec Baldwin doing an impression of the president, but somehow, it accidentally made it into the paper.
