This is definitely a joke. Taking something to an absurd extreme is a valid source of humor and I feel like this does a solid job of parody. Nice little references thrown in, too.
At the same time, Poe’s Law: “Without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.”

Trump is the harmful kind of joke, like those that perpetuate racist stereotypes.
