"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.

Decades of listening to hate radio and Fox News has taught them "government bad" despite the fact that they depend on it.

Teaching people to bite the hand that feeds them is a cool trick.
