German TV host gets tattoo supporting Ilse Aigner’s presidential bid

The 58-year-old revealed the tattoo during the talk show “Blome & Pfeffer.” “Through a kind of bet, I won the right to have Ilse tattooed,” he said.

Nikolaus Blome questioned whether he had lost the bet. “I lost the bet against myself, although I must say that I eventually did it with conviction,” Thadeusz replied. “Because I am not of the opinion that Ilse Aigner is just okay as a candidate, but I believe that she is a candidate who would do good for Germany at the moment.” Alev Doğan, deputy editor-in-chief of “The Pioneer,” also shared a picture of the tattoo on Instagram.

Thadeusz had announced the tattoo in August in his audio format “Das Wort zum Sonntag”: “Dear Ms. Aigner, you must do it. You must become Federal President,” he said.

To be able to show it, the plan was: “By the election on January 30th of next year, I will have trained my upper arm muscle, the biceps, Papaya size, and then the inscription Ilse will be right in the middle of it.” The CDU executive committee officially nominated Aigner on the proposal of Chancellor and CDU leader Friedrich Merz.

Should she be elected by the Federal Convention on January 30th, she would be the first woman and the first CSU politician to head the Federal Republic of Germany.
