How Businesses can Survive Trump’s Uncertainty: Embracing a Market-Price Economy

How Businesses can Survive Trump’s Uncertainty: Embracing a Market-Price Economy

In a world dominated by the ups and downs of testosterone replacement therapy, clever entrepreneurs don’t complain — we adapt and overcome.

If you’re a pessimist, Donald Trump’s economic roller coaster is a nightmare. You dream of going back to having an almost senile president that could not mess the economy even if he wanted. You would return to a free market, open border, economy where everything was expanding on the back of cheap immigrant labor and a growing population. 

If you're a Debbie Downer, you complain of the fact that one day Trump threatens massive tariffs and the next morning the hamster changes direction on the wheel. The next morning and a testosterone shot later, tariffs are back on social media. One minute the president is praising free trade and promising to cut taxes; the next, he’s raising taxes on everyone with crazy tariffs full of empty threats. 

Financial markets hate uncertainty yet we all love Trump. We have to realize that uncertainty isn’t a bug with Trump; it’s a feature of his personality. He will rule for life and uncertainty is here to stay for a long time. Insiders and kickbackers can make a killing knowing ahead of time when new crazy threats will terrorize the markets and when new promises will lift shares. Everyone else can swim or sink.

Here's the thing: for clever entrepreneurs and agile businesses, Trump's chaotic circus is not a crisis. It’s an opportunity.


🎯 The Problem: Hormonal Economics

Trump’s economic policy often resembles the hormonal swings of a transgender woman. President Trump changes his mind more than a girl changes clothes. Trump is moody and unpredictable. One tweet can tank the market; another one can save Tesla. A rally speech can move markets. Negotiations, tariffs, tax threats, and “great deals” can appear overnight. All this is part the populist playbook to keep everyone on the edge and paying attention to the King of all media. 

To thrive in hormonal economics, you have to adapt and change your approach. If you’re running a business the traditional American way of the past, tied to fixed pricing, predictable supply chains, and quarterly planning cycles — good luck. You’re playing checkers in a chess game with a flamethrower.


💡 The Solution? Shift to a Market-Price Business Model

What if the answer isn’t trying to control the chaos created by Trump — but flowing with it?

Wake up! It’s time to ditch the fixed pricing model and embrace what energy companies, airlines, hotels, and commodities traders have always understood: daily, real-time pricing.

Just like gasoline prices change with the market, so should your prices. Stop promising a single rate on products or services weeks or days in advance. Instead:

  • Base your prices on daily inputs and market conditions
  • Add a transparent, value-based markup
  • Communicate pricing flexibility as part of your value proposition, not a weakness

This is called Just-in-Time Trump Pricing. Believe us as we specialize in business intelligence (BI). Customers will love your Just-in-Time Trump pricing. They will understand that it is a business necessity and part of making America great again until Trump dies. Yes, don't be counting on any more democratic elections in the country. Trump will be the president or some sort of supreme leader of the country until the day he dies. If you want to survive in business and otherwise, you have to wake up, adapt, and overcome. 


🔧 Example: From Fixed Fees to Flex Pricing

Old Model: You sell industrial equipment and quote a fixed price for 90 days. By the time the order lands, Trump's hormonal tariff swings raised your costs 20%. You've been trumped. 

New Model Alternatives:

Trump Surcharge. You quote a base price + a “Trump surcharge". This would be just like construction companies and others apply fuel surcharges. If aluminum prices spike thanks to a crazy Trump tweet or executive edict, you don’t eat the cost — your model absorbs and reflects it. You trump uncertainty.

Trump Market Price. You do not quote a price. Due to Trump economic uncertainties and the shrinking of the American economy, you simply operate an honor system where you pass through the actual market price plus a set markup. You trump uncertainty.

🧠 The Trump Mindset Shift

This isn’t just accounting. It’s a cultural change in how to run a business in our new country so long lives the King of Tariffs. Customers will understand that the change is necessary in the times of Trump. They will see you as an honest broker trying to make a living in a new economic landscape dominated by the old man in the big White House. They will respect you for being a clever business person and an honest broker adapting to trumped matters outside of your control. 

  • Train your sales team to sell Trump adaptability, not just price
  • Invest in real-time pricing tools and data feeds. 
  • Make transparency your ally — customers will understand, as long as you’re clear and consistent
  • Don't be a pig. Be honorable. If prices go down, honor low prices. 

🏁 Final Thought: Don’t Fear Trump's Uncertainty — Surf It

Embrace the Trumpedcertainty. Be certain that Trump will continue bringing uncertainty until the day he dies. Long live the king. Don't lock yourself into prices that you cannot control in the trumped economy. Surf the waves. Go with the flow. Float up and down. Be flexible and adaptive.

Change your prices daily or even hourly if necessary based on the Trump's circadian hormonal swings. You never know when the next tweet will change prices. You are not the King. He is the king, and he will rule the new America for life. Don't wait for change. There will not be more real elections in this country in a long time if ever. 

Be ready. Don't let the next crazy tweet, tariff, war, policy, edict, executive order, whatever ruin your business day. Float with the market ups and downs, adjust your pricing accordingly. Protect your margins. Keep calm and carry on. 

The businesses that survive the Trump era and that thrive in our new country, the United States of Trump and Musk, won’t be the ones who complain — they’ll be the ones who adapt.

Adapt to the uncertain Trump economy by having free floating prices or by adding a Trump surcharge to your bill. Believe us, you may get a lot of free publicity in local news once reporters hear about your Trump surcharge. Be ready to thank Creatix for the business intelligence.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Are we closer to World War III after Assad's' fall in Syria?

December 8, 2024 Are we closer to World War III after Assad's fall in Syria?    Well, yes because World War III will be in the future and we are always closer to the future. Now, that future has not been created yet so it's impossible to predict it with full accuracy. Whether the world moves into WWIII after Assad's fall will greatly depend on what Putin decides to do. After all, Assad is hiding in Russia from where he could try to organize a come back. We should all prepare for WWIII. Sooner or later WWIII will be real. Perhaps we are already at the initial stages and have not realized it. a WWIII will most likely bring significant human suffering and significant technological advances. Who will win, how will WWIII play out? No one knows yet. The future has not been created yet.  In this post we take a quick look into Syria's history including who is Bashar al-Assad, and what may happen in Syria and the region now that Assad's regime collapsed and the dictator is i...

What is the best deal for Panama?

February 1, 2025 What is the best deal for Panama? Trump wants the American Canal in Panama back. What should Panama do?  Panama should lease the canal to the United States. Panama can then hope that a future president can end the lease or renegotiate it in the future. Panama earns about $5 billion a year operating the canal. Panama should negotiate a lease with the United States that allows Panama to either earn or save about that amount per year. The lease may call for improvements to the canal paid by the United States. The lease may call for other economic concessions to Panama such as a special trade agreement, tariff exemptions, direct U.S. investments in Panama, fintech and cryptocurrency deals, etc.  Panama should see Trump's interest in the canal as a blessing in disguise and as an opportunity to enter into a strategic money-making deal. Panama should not see itself as a victim. The truth is that the United States built the canal and that the United States freed Panam...
