Howard Stern spots the REAL reason Will Smith slapped Chris Rock: 'Smith and Trump are the SAME GUY’

By now, you've no doubt heard about the Oscar night spectacle in which actor Will Smith marched onstage and smacked comedian Chris Rock across the face for making a joke about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Soon after, anyone with a platform and an opinion (which is pretty much everyone these days) was offering up their ideas on what caused Smith's explosive meltdown, and many were quick to find a way to blame, you guessed it, former President Donald Trump.

During an episode of his SiriusXM radio show, Howard Stern said he'd cracked the code on Smith's bizarre behavior:

"Will Smith and Trump are the same guy," Sherlock Stern deduced.

Content warning: Profanity:

“[Smith] open-hand, with a lot of force, smacks [Rock] right in the mouth on TV,” Stern said. “Now the first thing I said to myself was ‘what the f*** is going on, is this a bit?’ Because where is security? This is a live television event. Not one person came out, because he’s Will Smith, this is how Trump gets away with sh**. Will Smith and Trump are the same guy.

He decided he’s going to take matters into his own hands, you know, at a time when the world is at war. Bad timing, man. Calm your f***ing a** down," he added.

Mediaite's tweet highlighting the segment of Stern's show got mixed reviews:
