"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."

Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.

the thought process the suggests that an image alone can be informative,

But it wasn't an image alone. If it was I'd 100% understand a strong rebuke. But I included the entire paragraph headline of the article that had all the information needed to verify the story.

The link itself is only a convience because you should verify the content against multiple sources. It's the content that's important, and I posted that.
