Muhoozi Kainerugaba is the son of Uganda’s longtime president, Yoweri Museveni, and is widely believed to be his father’s choice of successor. He was recently promoted to the rank of General and given status as an official Presidential Advisor.
That’s not why he’s been trending on Twitter though.
Muhoozi has been attracting attention around the world because of his attempts to win the love of Italian Prime Minister-elect Giorgia Meloni, going so far as to offer “100 Nkore cows” for her hand in marriage.

For my Italian friends, these are Nkore cows. The most beautiful cows on earth. I know Europeans give girls they like flowers? I have never understood it. In our culture you give a girl you like a cow. pic.twitter.com/8BRR3OJMUg

I think some Kenyans (minority) are very jealous about the cows! It doesn't matter, they can't stop Almighty God's plan!!! pic.twitter.com/0aKwqZyMDl

Equally bizarre but slightly more concerning, he’s also pledged to invade and conquer Uganda’s neighbors.
It wouldn't take us, my army and me, 2 weeks to capture Nairobi.

After our army captures Nairobi, where should I live? Westlands? Riverside?

Still not as much of an embarrassment as Hunter Biden though.
