Yes, to some degree. (I say "to some degree" because obviously big business paid for significant portions of his campaign, yet he's at least trying to do something, however small, to curtail their influence. This, to me, suggests that he doesn't like being bought and paid for. Or, at least, that he doesn't like appearing to be bought and paid for. I can hope, mm?)

But you can't be a corporatist and a socialist at the same time, unless the corporations in question are crazy and like to be regulated.

I was unaware of those definitions. No, the way I meant corporatist is someone who supports large corporations, in the business sense, culminating in a government ruled by, just as an example, oil companies, or Brawndo.
