But then we learned about Mathias D\u00f6pfner.<\/p>\n<p>The chief executive of German publishing house Axel Springer stood tall at 6&#8242; 7&#8243; and dominated the competition. He caused quite a stir in 2021 when his company bought POLITICO. The uproar came mostly due to an email D\u00f6pfner sent weeks before the 2020 election to his executive team:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Do we all want to get together for an hour in the morning on November 3 and pray that Donald Trump will again become President of the United States of America?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>D\u00f6pfner went on to detail all the reasons Trump was worth praying for. In fact, D\u00f6pfner said Trump was right about nearly everything important, including standing up to China and Russia, advancing peace in the Middle East, and making NATO freeloaders pay up.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s not all. Unlike other rightwing German strongmen, D\u00f6pfner is staunchly pro-Israel. Following a wave of anti-Semitic riots in Germany last year, D\u00f6pfner ordered an Israeli flag be flown outside his company\u2019s headquarters. When some of his staff objected, D\u00f6pfner let them have it:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I\u2019m being very frank with you: A person who has an issue with an Israeli flag being raised for one week here, after antisemitic demonstrations, should look for a new job.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This shouldn\u2019t have come as a surprise to the team, since Israel\u2019s right to exist is one of the principles that Axel Springer employees must commit to in writing, along with support for a free-market economy. While he won\u2019t make POLITICO employees sign the written agreement, he made it clear that he still expects them to adhere to the code. Wunderbar!<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you\u2019re probably thinking: &#8220;Wow, the only thing that would make D\u00f6pfner cooler would be if he owned so much nude art that he had to build a museum to hold it all!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We have some great news for you, boy! &#8220;While other new billionaires invest in yachts,&#8221; The <em>Washington Post<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/media\/2022\/09\/06\/mathias-dopfner-trump-email-axel-springer-politico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a> A profile of the German businessman &#8220;D\u00f6pfner built an art museum to house his collection of female nudes by female artists, said to be the world\u2019s largest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Is this a free-market Zionist, take-no-prisoners Zionist with a huge collection of nudes?
