Trump Reveals Name He Has Given To Key Weapon Used In Raid To Capture Maduro: 'Not Allowed To Talk About It'

President Donald Trump revealed the name he has given to a key weapon used in the operation that captured Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro earlier this month.

Speaking to the New York Post, Trump said he calls the weapon the "Discombobulator" but he is "not allowed to talk about it." "They never got their rockets off. They had Russian and Chinese rockets, and they never got one off. We came in, they pressed buttons and nothing worked. They were all set for us," Trump detailed, hinting that the weapon disabled Venezuelan defense systems.

It is not clear if the weapon Trump was talking about the same weapon that allegedly helped take out Cuban bodyguards of Maduro.

The White House had already appeared to acknowledge the use of such a weapon when White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared an account of the attack describing its use.

It involves a Venezuelan guard who said that there was no chance to stage a counter-attack because "at one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave."

"Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move," the guard noted."

The guard went on to say that only a "small number" of ground forces arrived in the premises, but they were "technologically very advanced" and "didn't look like anything we've fought against before."

The guard then noted that Venezuelan forces attempted to fight, but the confrontation was a "massacre." "We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed... it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. We couldn't do anything," he added.

The remains of the Cuban soldiers were returned to their country last week in boxes smaller than coffins.
