Acclaimed author Jeff Gillenkirk died of a heart attack this week, two days after publication of his final article, “The New PTSD: Post-Trump Stress Disorder.”
Gillenkirk, 67, suffered the heart attack Tuesday while teaching a class of third-graders in San Francisco, Alternet reported.
Mr. Gillenkirk, an Alternet contributor and onetime speechwriter for former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, wrote in his final article of the severe anxiety he and others have experienced in the aftermath of Donald Trump being elected president — “a painful, sad irony,” said Alternet’s executive editor, Don Hazen.
“Anguishing yet again over election results in the middle of the night, I finally realized I’m experiencing something similar to PTSD,” reads Mr. Gillenkirk’s article, which was published Sunday. “Triggered by the election, to the most powerful office in the world, of a man who’s espoused wholesale exclusion of Muslim immigrants, deporting millions of undocumented immigrants, repealing Roe v.

Some folks here likely to drop dead over “Trump may hire someone I don’t like” disorder....
So now they are not bashful about Alternet? Geez, what a bunch of wussified projectionists.
Does anyone else remember left-wing “journalist” Lars-Erik Nelson who died during the Florida recount which was attributed to stress from “Bush stealing the election”?
“He was teaching elementary school students”
That was the most alarming part of this article. He was teaching THIRD GRADERS!!! What was he teaching them???
That’s OK, I smiled and waved bye bye! ; )
Let’s see - Trump Total Derangement Syndrome (TTDS) can be fatal. But since it is so easily treatable with an off-the-shelf remedy of, say, a healthy dose of FreeRepublic on a daily basis, not to worry for thinking people.
“With Trump’s election, I feel a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. “
The exact phrase my wife and I felt; and a couple we were visiting with.
Like a heavy dark burden that was suddenly gone.
The other thing we all felt; that our nation has a new chance to keep going now. Our 240 year old experiment in power in the people gets to keep going.
What exactly was he teaching the students?
Trump won!!
STFU and Die. Another idiot bits the dust.
Is this the start of the Trump Body Count?
Check his blood for cocaine and viagra, both of which can cause heart attacks.
Karma is a biotch,,,
Seems like liberalism is a physical disorder as well.
The Alternet?
Survival of the fittest.....
Acclaimed by who?
Susie Gillenkirk?
Liberalism’s lies killed him. Hate is heavy on the heart. It’s sad.
Prayers for a deeply misguided soul.
