What emerges looks much closer to corporatism: an economy where the government becomes a direct player in business decisions rather than a neutral referee.

And that is a big problem. When federal bureaucrats have a direct leadership role in the corporate governance of a private company, they will steer that company toward political decisions rather than business decisions. Will it award contracts based on efficiency and cost, or based on which choice preserves government revenue?

In the shadows, power plays its game of seduction, the line between governance and control blurred like a whispered secret. Bureaucratic hands stroke the corporate heart, a delicate dance of influence.

It's more like he's making decisions that personally enrich himself & his cronies, rather than increasing govt revenue. A good example of this is the "donations" he has taken before pardoning people who had substantial $ judgements against them that were then wiped clean.
