If you are an able-bodied Medicaid recipient, complying with the work requirement stated in President Donald J. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Budget” is easy-peasy. Plenty of sales jobs are available within the ever-commodifying commander in chief’s extensive branding empire.

Single parents with numerous children — and even those who suffer from a neurotic fear of open spaces and many of those who are not able-bodied — can conduct online sales from their homes.

Trump’s latest and greatest products include:

  • Trump’s new cologne “Victory 45-47” — limited edition is accompanied by a gold statuette of the greatest and most beloved president in our nation’s history
  • Trump digital phones
  • Trump get-out-of-tariffs-for-not-so-free cards
  • Trump $5 million permanent U.S. residency gold cards
  • Trump cryptocurrencies, the $TRUMP and the $MELANIA
  • One gently used Trump Tesla
  • Trump’s oldest but goodliest are treasured by both his fans and by connoisseurs of gag-gifts:

  • Trump Bibles — high quality, ultra-patriotic, made in China
  • Trump digital trading cards — aka Trump nonfungible tokens (TNFTs)
  • Trump watches, jewelry and his earlier cologne, “Success by Trump”
  • Trump T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, socks and MAGA caps
  • Trump campaign flags, signs, banners, coins, mugs, calendars and other highly collectable memorabilia
  • Trump’s and spook-writers’ “The Art of the Deal” and “Crippled America”
  • Trump endorsed books now packaged as The Trump Masterpieces of Conservative Literature Series
  • Trump action figures and dolls — only two per customer
  • Trump autographed photos
  • Trump commemorative medallions and plates
  • Trump challenge coins
  • Trump phone cases and laptop decals
  • Trump vitamins and nutritional supplements
  • Trump wine and Trump ice — an always cool bottled water
  • Trump steaks are no longer available. Currently there is no demand for the official I-was-swindled diploma from Trump University, but if you have one, hold on to it. Within a mere 20 to 30 years, such sheepskins will be worth their weight in gold on “Antiques Road Show.”
