The paper on Saturday issued a clarification on its website: 

"El Nacional published on Friday as Donald Trump a picture of actor Alec Baldwin, who imitates on a television program the president of the United States," the publication wrote. "The picture was sent that day by Associated Press (AP) with the name of the actor and reported on the program, but was placed as if it were Trump's, a situation that went unnoticed for all who reviewed page 19El Nacional apologizes to the readers and to all those who felt affected by the publication.
