FALSE - Is it true that President Museveni said that 'The problem is Donald Trump, he talks a lot of nonsense more than actions?'

Tunachokijua: Claim

A video circulating online shows Yoweri Museveni allegedly saying: “The problem is Donald Trump, he talks a lot of nonsense more than actions. If he thinks he and Bobi Wine can fight me, then you are stupid. Uganda is not pancake that you can just come and play around. Don't try me nowadays, I burn like fire.”

Verdict

A review conducted by JamiiCheck has established that the video has been taken out of context and misrepresents the original message. In the footage, Yoweri Museveni was delivering closing remarks at the NRM MPs’ Retreat in Kyankwanzi, which ran from April 7 to April 14, 2026, under the theme: “Aligning the NRM leadership towards protecting the gains and making a bold, qualitative leap towards a higher middle-income status society.”

During the address, President Museveni urged leaders to focus on fighting corruption and strengthening governance. There is no credible evidence that he made the alleged remarks about Donald Trump or Bobi Wine.

Additionally, through a Google reverse image search, JamiiCheck identified the original video posted on X on April 19, 2026 (Archived here), in which Yoweri Museveni is seen emphasizing the need to fight corruption.

Additionally, tools used to detect AI-generated content indicate that the audio in the video was artificially generated using artificial intelligence.
