can he declassify 5 Eyes docs that are related to say nuking Russia, China or Iran and keep those in a non secure place after he leaves office, then lie (or ask his atty to lie) about having them, and suggest to his atty destroy some of them if they look like something he should not have kept?


No.

While the President has broad declassification power, there are things he needs Congressional authority or agreement to declassify, dealing almost exclusively with national defense matters.

And just to be clear, just like the President has broad declassification power, the rights of Congress on national defense matters is also in the constitution, Article 3, Section 8.
