Howard Stern may not be a close friend of former President Donald Trump, but he knows him well enough to have some interesting ideas about just what Trump was planning to do with all those classified documents he allegedly took with him to Mar-a-Lago.

On the Monday edition of Sirius XM’s The Howard Stern Show, Stern suggested Trump may have been hoping to sell state secrets to other countries while he was still in office, Mediaite reports. The controversial talk show host mentioned something he’d heard on MSNBC’s Way Too Early With Jonathan Lemire, alleging that the former president may have taken classified documents from Mar-a-Lago to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey in 2021.

Stern supports this possibility, saying the purpose for transporting all these documents may well have been so that Trump could sell state secrets to foreign countries. He stated three theories about why Trump may be capable of doing something like this.

“One [theory] based on the dude I know, even when he got in office, he couldn’t believe he was in office,” Stern said. “When those Russian ambassadors came to visit him — if you remember early in his administration, he started showing them top secret documents, like saying, ‘Can you believe I have access to this sh*t?”

Well, most of us already know Trump likes to brag, and this wasn’t lost on Stern either.

“I think he was trying to prove to the Russians, like, ‘I’m really in control here. I’ve got top secret papers.’ Meanwhile, he’s showing them to Russians,” he added. “So one of it is just like to prove that he was president in a way he doesn’t even believe it. That’s the most safe explanation.”

But the two other reasons Stern lists are far more sinister.

“This is a guy who badly wants to do business with Russia and Saudi Arabia. Imagine if he says to them, ‘Look, man, let me, give me a couple of billion dollars and I’ll show you where France keeps their nuclear weapons,” Stern said.

“Then the third is a straight out, ‘Hey, you guys wanna buy this from me? I mean, I can sell it to you Russia, for like you know, $50 billion. This is what you’ll have. You’ll know everyone’s nuclear secrets.’ I mean, who the f*ck knows?” he added.

Trump was frequently a guest on Stern’s show before he became president so Stern is pretty familiar with how the man operates.

“You know, that’s just the way he rolls. I don’t even think he has any idea what’s in those documents. He just wants them,” Stern said in conclusion. “He just wants them.”

Who knows? Maybe he thinks this will help with his tax problems or help him retain additional attorneys. Maybe he’s willing to throw the American people under the bus for a few billion dollars.

Would that really be surprising?

MAGAs weren’t very happy with Stern:

The guy who built his fame as a shock jock, degrading women and others on a regular basis has no place in commenting on anyone’s behavior.

What does a foul mouthed pervert who has been nothing more than a talking head for the last 25 years – know about nuclear intel? Has he ever been privy to such intel. Has he seen intelligence documents of any kind? He's past useless. https://t.co/OOOgUHoMLp
