Days after Donald Trump talked about the secret weapon the United States used to disable Venezuelan equipment during the capture of Nicolas Maduro, the US President again reiterated that he is “not allowed to talk about it" and everybody now knows what it is capable of.

In an interview with NBC News, when asked about the weapon — the ‘Discombobulator’ — Trump said, “I’m not allowed to talk about it… Let me just tell you, you know what it does? None of their equipment works. That’s what it does."

He further expressed pride in the name ‘Discombobulator’, and credited himself for naming the secret weapon. “Everything was discombobulated. It was my name. I am very proud of the name."
