The irony of this is that Hitler did have good business connections. Fascism cannot rise to power without strong support of big industry. Trump is trying to forge similar connections with the oil industry currently, offering to slash environmental regulations in exchange for a big campaign donation.

Is that really forging connections or is it just directly asking them for a bribe?

Both. Hitler did the same thing with the big businesses at the time. He promised them greater profits and reduced regulations in exchange for their support.
