Trump claims he has new 'secret weapon' he is not allowed to talk about

Donald Trump has claimed the US has a new secret weapon which he's not able to talk about.

When he's not abducting the President of Venezuela or demanding sovereignty over Greenland, the US leader is boasting about the might of his country's military power – which apparently includes weapons which no other country have.

During an interview about the raid on Caracas, which saw Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores captured on flown to the US on charges of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking, Trump let slip that US soldiers may have had help from a new piece of military tech.

Branding the mysterious weapon 'The Discombobulator' President Trump told reporters from the New York Post that he wasn't allowed to share specifics about the weapon but assured that it had been crucial during America's intervention in Caracas.

"The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it," he said, adding that he would 'love to' share further details.

While he was unable to share specific details about the military weapon with the press, Trump did reveal "The 'Discombobulator' had prevented the Venezuelans from attacking during the raid.

"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," he added.

The claims about a disabling weapon follow reports that an intense sonic weapon had brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees during the raid.

According to an anonymous account shared by a guard in Caracas, Venezuelan soldiers were allegedly bleeding from the nose and vomiting blood.

"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," read the anonymous account, which was later retweeted by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. "We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move."

While guard's account has not been independently verified, it follows reports that around 100 Venezuelan security forces were killed during the 3 January attack, while no American soldiers were fatally injured.

This isn't the first time that Trump has alluded to the existence of high-tech pieces of military equipment, with the 79-year-old previously telling NewsNation anchor Katie Pavlich the US had access to sonic weapons which 'nobody else has'.

Again, Trump did not share too many details about weapon but insisted it was one which 'nobody else knows about'.

Or didn't know about, before he went ahead revealed it to the world.

"But we have weapons nobody else knows about," he added. "I say it's probably good not to talk about it, but we have some amazing weapons."
