That is, in fact, the joke.

But you can't destroy artifacts/magic items and I don't see the Trolley being attuned to the staff and able to use the Retributive Strike Action.

You CAN destroy magic items. And this one has special rules for being broken, none of which mention having to be attuned to trigger it.

"Retributive Strike" is a magic property (just like 'Power Strike' and its Spell List). You can't activate or benefit from magic properties on non-attuned Magic Items/Artifact.

So if you break the Staff of Magi without using that Action, well it becomes just a broken Staff.

Also thanks for teaching me that one can indeed can break magic items, that non-destructible nature only applies to Artifacts.

It can be argued that you are not benefiting from the magic property in this instance, but instead suffering from it - in which case, it is valid for it to explode when run over.

If you try to use it as a bomb without attuning it, then it will fail.
