Donald Trump has revealed a secret weapon that he has dubbed "The Discombobulator" which was apparently crucial in capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Yes, you read that right - the leader of the self-proclaimed most powerful nation on Earth has a secret weapon called 'The Discombobulator' - I am lost for words.
In what is just the latest in a number of (assumingly) unintentional zingers from the president of the United States, Trump has people everywhere scratching their heads once again.
Only this week, the 79-year-old told a room full of people in the German-speaking part of Switzerland that they'd be speaking German without the US, while he also got Greenland muddled up with Iceland.
So honestly, we probably shouldn't be that surprised with the latest reports coming out of the White House that Trump is the proud owner of a discombobulator - the sort of weapon only owned by goofy evil villains.
Speaking to the New York Post, Trump revealed that the capture of Venezuela's Maduro came thanks to the use of this new weapon which can make enemy equipment "not work".
The Discombobulator supposedly disabled Venezuela's rockets when the US launched their operation.
He said: "‘The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it.
"I would love to.
"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."
In the past, Trump has admitted before to having a "secret sonic" weapon which "nobody else" has, so maybe this could be the same thing.
While little is known about the weapon, there have long been rumours about a 'sonic' weapon, even more so after White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, claimed that Maduro’s guards were brought to their knees bleeding through the nose and vomiting blood.
One eyewitness said all of their radar systems "shut down without any explanation."
I'm feeling discombobulated just hearing about all this...
