It's been crony capitalism for decades now. Trump has been the only one that the corporations couldn't buy, hence why he's such a thorn in their sides, and by extension the sides of every other federal politician.

Hasn't he accepted donations from many mega corporations? My assumption is that a corporation wont donate money, without the expectation of ROI.

OP has the delusion that being rich means you are resistant to corruption by being less likely to pursue riches. That being rich causes one to stop pursuing it.
