Bob Greene, the board chairman of Rocky Mountain PBS, is facing criticism following a social media post where he expressed a wish for President Donald Trump to suffer a debilitating stroke. The comment, which has since been deleted, was made in response to a post on the platform X, where Greene replied to a birthday message for Trump. In a statement, Rocky Mountain Public Media (RMPM) stated that they had only recently become aware of Greene's post, which violates their social media guidelines that separate personal views from the organization's content. RMPM emphasized that the post does not reflect their values and is counterproductive to their mission. Trump celebrated his 80th birthday on the South Lawn of the White House during a UFC event.
