    I guess I can't say anything with certainty. But I don't think that corporations would necessarily back him in that power struggle

      Why wouldn't they? The real power players are making money even though the economy is falling apart for ordinary people. If you're the military-industrial complex you like the fact that he's always a bad week away from starting a war. He'll sign off on whatever corporate handouts the GOP puts in front of him. He'll pick pro-business judges. He'll be a punching bag for libs so they never focus their anger too intensely on capitalism.

      You could argue that they might slightly prefer a pro-business Democrat who's more stable, but I think it's splitting hairs at that point, and I find it hard to believe they'd do anything meaningful to oppose Trump at that point.
