‘Cheering you on’: Victorian UAP Senator Ralph Babet’s embarrassing letter to Donald Trump revealed

An Australian senator’s gushing letter to former US President Donald Trump – where he declares his support for the embattled candidate – has been revealed.

A gushing letter penned by UAP’s Ralph Babet to Donald Trump has been shared online by the former president himself.

United Australia Party Senator Ralph Babet has penned a gushing letter to former US President Donald Trump, pledging his support for the embattled candidate and wishing him “success” at the next election.

The Victorian senator’s letter was shared by Mr Trump himself on his Truth Social account on Friday.

It was accompanied by the words: “Thank you to Senator Ralph Babet of Australia!”

In the letter, Mr Babet asserts many in Australia are “pleased” to see the former president run again for the White House and “wish you every success”.

“So be encouraged that you have many friends in the Australian Parliament, not least of all me, who will be cheering you on in the Presidential campaign,” his letter states.

He also asserts his contempt for current US leader Joe Biden.

“I have always been a great admirer of the United States,” Mr Babet states.

“But to see the deterioration in America over the past four years has been truly heartbreaking.

“Watching the way the Biden administration has brought the US into disrepute around the world through weak leadership, both at home and aboard, has been devastating for lovers of freedom everywhere.”

The gushing letter comes as Mr Trump faces federal prosecution for alleging attempting to overturn the 2020 US election.

He stands accused of “obstructing a bedrock function of the US government – the nation’s process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election”, according to court documents.

Mr Babet brushed off the allegations in his letter, asserting he was confident the “American people would see through all of that”.

“Australia may be a long way from the United States geographically, but we are not that far removed in terms of the issues we faced,” he said.

“I believe it is not only in the US interest for you to be in the White House, but it is in the interests of freedom-loving people everywhere.”

Mr Babet was elected in 2022 as a senator for Victoria.

The party, led by mining billionaire and former MP Clive Palmer, spent $100m during the election campaign, fielding multiple candidates across the country.

Mr Babet was the sole candidate elected to the senate.
