That would be true if the President was the CEO. It's not corporatist because corporations don't even own their own businesses anymore, they've all been bought out by the government, the goverment owns everything. That's actually Communism but we're not quite there yet.
I suggest you look up the term "corporatism". Listen, you can't go around throwing a bunch of buzzwords around such as communism and socialism without knowing what they mean. In a senario where government owns everything, you can have communism, social democratism, socialism, fascism, nazism etc. Government owning everything does NOT automatically = socialism or communsim. Actually, if the American government somehow managed to get to own every business in the US, you'd have fascism and not socialism, since American culture already is borderline fascist in nature.Fascism is not the opposite of Socalism or Communism. Fascism is Authoritarian. The opposite of Fascism is Anarchy which is Libertarian. The Opposite of Communism which is left on the political spectrum,opposite to Capitalism which is on the right. Socialism is a watered down version of communism, it does good in the beginning, but fails in the end.
However most states are fascist in nature, not just the US. The UK is the 4th highest authoritarian state in the EU, only behind the likes of developing nations like in the east like Poland, Hungary and Greece. It is even more authoritarian than the US, well depending on the state you live in, but for the most part it is.
Hitler and Stalin had much in common when it came to Fascism. The only difference was Stalin was a Fascist Communist and Hitler was a Fascist Centrist or Moderate.

Authoritarian does not = facsism. Just because fascism and socialism involves big government doesn't mean they're remotely similar. The fundamental beliefs are extremely different.
