Corporatism/corporatocracy is about representative groups from industries being embedded in the state and their interests shaping state policy.
The current US administration's relationships with corporations is more seeking to maximise how much bribe money it can extract from them, whilst undermining them with counterproductive policies no matter how big the tax breaks are.
That's the opposite of corporatism. Corporatism would be if the corporations made demands of the government, and the government bent over backwards.
The US government has lots of corporatism, but this isn't an example of that.
