President Trump told The Post that a secret new weapon he calls “The Discombobulator” was essential to the daring US raid that captured Venezuela’s drug-dealing dictator Nicolas Maduro. Trump boasted that the mysterious weapon “made [enemy] equipment not work” when US helicopters swooped into Caracas on Jan. 3 to arrest Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, on federal drug and weapons charges — without losing a single American life. “The Discombobulator. I’m not allowed to talk about it,” Trump said during an exclusive interview in the Oval Office. I would love to,” the president added, before confirming its use in the stealth operation.
