US President Donald Trump has revealed details of a mystery weapon he has coined ‘The Discombobulator,’ that was used in the capture of Venezuela’s former leader Nicolás Maduro. In an interview with the New York Post he revealed the tool’s name just days after he gave hints about the sonic weapon that ‘nobody else’ had. Trump has suggested that the debilitating device could be used against America’s enemies after proving successful in the January 3 capture of Maduro.
