The pattern here is personalism. Trump views the federal treasury as a discretionary fund for dispensing patronage and largesse; he regards the White House as his private property; he regards DOJ as (literally) his personal lawyers, & the military & law enforcement as his personal security team.

Framing this as a “preferential funding” offer deeply misrepresents the actual contents of the proposal.

It would effectively allow Trump to revoke *all* Vandy’s federal funding on a whim. It would destroy the university’s independence and credibility. Only a fool would sign.

Traffic is fundamentally a geometry problem, not a technology problem.

That’s why, although AVs may solve other problems, they won’t fix traffic.
