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.

“[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:

Do you think nothing would have happened had it been Ben Affleck slapping Chris Rock?!????

If he means that we as human beings, since around 2016 coincidentally or not, have lost all dignity about ourselves, have lost the ability to turn the other cheek, and have lost all control of impulse in the face of criticism or words we don\u2019t like, then he\u2019s absolutely right.

I used to like Howard, he's turned into a real piece of poop. Don't you dare compare the two. When did Trump raise his hand and they were constantly making fun of his wife. Smith only thinks of violence to solve problems.

This happens when they can get over Trump! Everything in their little minds has to include Trump. \n\nTDS is a serious condition!
