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. Wade, abolishing the Environmental Protection Agency and encouraging Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia to develop nuclear weapons, among other polarizing proposals....

Toodle-oo.
I like the way you’ve already called the 2020 election for Trump.
Lie then die. That’s a shame.
Those poor 3rd graders having to listen to his last rant.
Pray America woke
No-brainer!
(OK, early days, let’s see how the first 100 days go, and take it from there. Nah, make that the first 10 days...)
exactly. and if he worried himself to death, well, too bad for him. Sad.
Know what I find funny about this? If Carson won they would be saying the same thing about him.
Very Naughty,yes indeedy!
That was my first thought also, lots of ‘good’ people die everyday, much less this deceived man,
He witnessed the equivalent of his ‘god’ that ‘power and principality’ the demonic obamastate being cast down to the Earth, that’s what is really causing their angst,
Like how those North Koreans reacted falling in the streets and prostrate on the statute of the dear leader some years back,
This kind of reaction is also just one more fulfillment of Bible prophecy,
“Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” Luke 21:26
You give me too much credit.
Still not tired of winning....
The left has created for itself a false image of Trump, and forced itself to believe it. The left was never very much in touch with reality anyway.
Will Trump be accused of murder?
I.e., his peers.
Sounds like the third-graders did him in. Maybe he should have used a teleprompter like Obama to ease the stress of speaking to grammar school kids.
How great it is that he isn't teaching elementary kids anymore. The world will be just a little better place without him.
One down.
Zig Ziglar died in 2012 - some blamed it on Obama winning a 2nd term.
Who knows how many deranged fools on the left will die over their inability to accept reality?
I say with complete confidence that anyone who worked for Mario Cuomo, a lying, murdering blasphemer, improved the world by dying.
He was being oh, so, clever diagnosing his “PTSD” he failed to et his butt to an ER. Joke’s on you, butthead.
