... Donald Trump admitted that the U.S. military used a secret sonic' weapon during its abduction of Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro.

The president also bragged that "nobody else" has the weapon, while championing the strength of the United States military.

There have been rumors of a sonic weapon being used ever since White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that a device used in the raid had left Venezuelan soldiers bleeding from the nose and vomiting blood.

Trump, though, was uncharacteristically coy when it came to giving details about the weapon during an interview on yesterday's episode of the NewsNation program Katie Pavlich Tonight.

Pavlich asked Trump whether Americans should be concerned about the weapon's power, and the president raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, yeah." ...

@#3

thx for those mentions. But those are microwave weapons, not the sonic weapons described in the article.

Though, it may be that Pres Trump during the interview misrepresented the nature of the weapon used, and they were actually microwave weapons.

I freely admit that if I ever flee to the Papal embassy seeking sanctuary and the US military showed up and started broadcasting a Piggy speech I would surrender in record time. Maybe even quantum speed where I surrender so fast after hearing it that I go back in time to before I hear it.
