"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.

Everyone knows the parts of the federal government they have involvement with aren't all that wasteful. The sad truth is we're very, very far away from conservative voters realizing the rest of the government is about the same, and the wealthy just use the idea of wasteful spending as a red herring to distract from their taxes being unsustainably low.

Didn't you see the picture of the guy looking sad? What more proof do you need?!?

Fixed. Sorry.

But it's not like I didn't include the quote of the headline to find the story.

Dude. Are we living in an age of misinformation and disinformation or are you the lone person not overreacting? Because I think we are living in an age of misinformation and disinformation.

The quote had all the details to verify the story through search engines so it wasn't potential misinformation. I forgot to post the link and I'm sorry.

But the link only saves everyone time. It in itself didn't provide any more evidence.
