"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.

Tragically, this guy and others like him will never reflect on whether they contributed to harm. It'll always be someone else's fault, somehow.

They're feeding from the same trough of misinformation as everyone else. The trough gets filled with the same scapegoats regardless of the circumstances.

So it will always be immigrants and woke leftists and terrorists and lazy liberal regulators ruining your prosperity. Because they're the ones you've been trained to recognize as the source of all your problems.

Media only wants to give you what you want to hear and all you want to hear is "It was a blue haired brown skinned ISIS lesbian's fault"

Yeah, seen my share of people getting their faces blown off and basically rationalizing it away because it was Trump that did it. "If you think about it, it's somehow Obama's fault". There's probably a good many reasons for this, and I think one of the big ones is that nobody likes accepting that they got suckered.
