A Trump supporter was spotted in Wisconsin, buying a shocking amount of baby oil, leading to questions about his unusual purchase. A picture posted on Reddit showed the Boomer man standing at the cash register in a Walmart store. A proud supporter of President Donald Trump, he sported a bright red hat with the words “Make America Great Again,” paired with black pants and a checkered shirt.
Besides his politically-inspired appearance, something else caught the attention of the poster—the 13 bottles of baby oil he was about to pay for. Some baby clothes and socks were included in his items.
The poster wrote that the MAGA supporter was also “harassing” the cashier and other employees with subjects of politics about Trump’s regime, even when it clearly made them uncomfortable.
Shocked at the amount of baby oil, the poster tried to discreetly ask their daughter what she thought the MAGA supporter was buying it for. “I whispered to my daughter, asking her what the hell is the deal with all the baby oil?”
However, the Trump supporter in question overheard and started to explain his purchase. He claimed that he has “extremely dry” skin and has to use the oil all the time. Of course, the poster didn’t buy the explanation, and neither did any of the users in the comment section.
The encounter with the MAGA boomer comes barely 10 months after hundreds of bottles of baby oil were recovered from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ residence after he was arrested and charged with numerous sex crimes. In light of this, several users in the comment section likened the man to the celebrity singer, saying he clearly doesn’t have good intentions.
One user wrote, “He’s been inspired by Diddy and is going to have a Freak-Off.” Another wrote, “This guy is definitely on a registry.” Other users called for the police to examine the man’s browser history and hard drives, while one simply commented, “MAGA Diddy Boomer.”
More users pointed out the suspicious nature of the Boomer’s purchase, writing that he likely had a “dungeon filled with children” and was “disgusting.” One fan suggested, “Whatever he’s doing, call the cops.”
Interestingly, one user in the comment section, an immunologist, attempted to provide a rational explanation for the unlikely purchase. The user @unfinishedtoast3 wrote that while it was a “weird a** situation,” they had dealt with several boomers and have seen them use baby oil for strange reasons. One of such scenarios is soaking their feet straight in baby oil in an attempt to cure extremely cracked feet, even though other OTC medications are more effective.
The user explained that oftentimes, people who used this baby oil therapy wouldn’t change the oil and go ahead to share it with other people until it got “cloudy.” This then worsened the situation, leading to athletes’ feet, which further aggravated the cracked and bleeding feet they were already experiencing.
“Boomers are like one of the hardest generations to treat/deal with,” agreed another Redditor. “They think they know everything.”
That might be the case for this MAGA Boomer, or it might be something more sinister. No one will truly ever know from that picture.
