CNN anchor Max Foster lip syncs to Madonna while explaining what happens if Trump becomes ‘incapacitated’
CNN anchor pretends to belt out the lyrics to the 1989 pop classic ‘Like a Prayer’
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The sobering news of President Trump testing positive for coronavirus inspired CNN anchor Max Foster to hop on social media and make light of the situation while lip syncing to Madonna.
Trump announced early Friday that both he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for COVID-19 and would quarantine at the White House. A White House source told Fox News that the president and the first lady are “fine,” but Foster wanted to clear a few things up just in case Trump becomes “incapacitated.”
Foster, a London-based anchor and correspondent who hosts “CNN Newsroom” on CNN International, posted a video on his verified TikTok account lip syncing to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” and claimed he was trying to predict the unpredictable.

“Vice president takes over ... party elects new candidates ... but ballots are out ... and many voted – they might not support a new candidate,” Foster wrote in the text that appears on screen. “Could end up in court ... election could be delayed ... or something else I haven’t thought of.”
