Henry Winkler Says Donald Trump 'Pushed' Him at Gala: 'I Don't Forgive'

.... Changing course, Emmy-winning Barry star Winkler responded: "You know what I don't forgive? I don't forgive people who don't see you, who don't acknowledge your existence. That kills me. Like, people who brush you out of the way." ....

..."The first time I met a man who was running for president at the time... Trump. I met him at a ball, at a big event, and he literally pushed me out of the way, like the president or the premier of [Montenegro]."

Veteran actor Winkler has long been critical of Trump. During an appearance on MSNBC back in 2017, the screen star accused Trump of being "completely self-obsessed," adding: "His life's bread, his life's blood is the sound of appreciation, or adulation."

In 2021, Winkler compared Trump to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in a post shared on X, formerly Twitter.

However, in alliance with Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini took hold of a great deal of power and many horrible things.
