why would I be mixing up capitalism with corporatism?
we are supposed to be a capitalistic society, everything Trump is doing is pushing us away from that, and maybe into a more corporatist economy. I can't say for sure, because I can't tell if Trump really has a plan, but its not a more open economy with less government involvement, aka capitalist.
Trump didn't inherit an economy with no standards, he is taking an economy already buckling under the red tape and government involvement, and adding to it. at least in his first go around he removed some red tape/overreach but he hasn't done that yet this time.
