Trump’s Claim About Secret Weapon in Maduro Raid
In a recent interview, President Trump revealed to the Post that a covert new device he termed the “discombobulator” was a crucial factor in the U.S. raid that apprehended Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
On January 3, American helicopters landed in Caracas, successfully capturing Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on charges related to drugs and weapons, all without any American casualties.
“Discombobulator. We’re not allowed to discuss it,” Trump stated during an exclusive interview in the Oval Office.
The president went on to express his approval for using the weapon in stealth missions, saying, “I would love to do that.”
“They never activated the rockets. They had Russian and Chinese rockets, but they were never launched. We came in, pressed the buttons, and nothing worked. It was all set for us,” he added.
His comment on the weapon came in response to recent reports suggesting that the Biden administration had acquired a pulse-energy weapon thought to be linked to “Havana Syndrome.”
Details about this weapon remain scarce, but some local Venezuelan reports indicated that Maduro’s guards were found “bleeding from the nose” and vomiting.
A member of Maduro’s former security team noted, “Suddenly, without any explanation, all radar systems went down.”
Individuals involved described witnessing drones flying overhead, not knowing how to respond, followed by the arrival of approximately 20 U.S. soldiers aboard eight helicopters.
The “Discombobulator” was supposedly aimed directly at the defenders of Maduro.
One witness recounted a harrowing experience, saying, “At one point they fired something. I can’t really explain it. It was like an extremely intense sound wave. Suddenly, it felt like my head was exploding from the inside.” He continued, “We all started bleeding from our noses. Some of us were coughing up blood. We collapsed and couldn’t move—standing up was impossible after that sonic weapon or whatever it was.”
Currently, Maduro, age 63, is in a federal prison in Brooklyn, facing trial for narco-terrorism. Delcy Rodriguez is serving as the interim leader of Venezuela.
“We have a great relationship with the new president,” Trump mentioned. “She was wonderful.”
