Trump-Loving Australian Senator's Post About MAGA Fans Is A Hilarious Self-Own

MAGA-loving Australian Senator Ralph Babet tried to back Trump supporters on X, but his post awkwardly backfired.

Ralph Babet, a member of the United Australia Party, elected to represent Victoria in the Australian Senate at the 2022 Australian federal election, is a big fan of former President Donald Trump but his attempt to back Trump supporters on X awkwardly backfired.

In a post last week, Babet declared the following:


"Anyone with half a brain would support Donald J. Trump for President."

You can see his post below.

But that backfired immediately once people pointed out he was actually throwing shade at Trump's supporters—including himself.



Babet has called Trump a “gosh darn legend,” accused the Australian media of being “infiltrated by woke left wing activists masquerading as journalists,” ridiculed Vice President Kamala Harris as a “cracking banshee,” and declared that “leftism is a mental illness.”

Babet has said he does not consider the science of climate change to be "settled" or believe that humans are responsible for it. Moreover, he's pushed false equivalencies, falsely suggesting there are an equal number of scientists on either side of the debate.

He would be right at home in the United States alongside many Trump-backed candidates considering he promoted a number of conspiracy theories including one about the World Economic Forum impeding on Australian sovereignty by supporting non-white immigration and backing COVID-19 lockdown policies.

Despite repeatedly ranting against the billionaires he believes are damaging the planet via the World Economic Forum, his campaign was backed by Australian billionaire Clive Palmer, who chairs the United Australia Party.

United Australia was "voluntarily" deregistered by the Australian Electoral Commission under section 135 of the Electoral Act, which states a party can be deregistered “if an application to do so is made to the Commission by a person or persons who are entitled to make an application for a change to the Register."

Despite this, Babet is singlehandedly keeping the party alive as its only senator and has sworn to keep representing its interests in Parliament.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
