It doesn't look like so. The author is definitely creating some confusion, but the readme of his professional Github's account (https://github.com/jonschlinkert) says:
> Several years ago I switched careers from sales, marketing and consulting to learn how to program, with the goal of making the world a better place through code. [...] To date, I've created more than 1,000 open source projects in an effort to reach my goal. Open source software takes a lot of time to create and maintain. You can help me to achieve my goals of changing the world through code, help me create better developer experiences, or just say thank you by sponsoring me on GitHub.
He's asking for real money; he's definitely not a troll.
This package certainly seems like satire. It has no actual implementation in it. Instead it depends on another npm package: `is-odd`.

Looks like the author of these packages agrees. While the is-even and is-odd packages are under the i-voted-for-trump user with the description "This is a joke", the is-number package [1] is still kept under the main profile of the author, the repository is still active on GitHub and there are active issues.

I'm not sure what to think about this guy, but I don't think bullying the guy solves anything. It's more guilty those popular packages that choose to depend on these rabbit holes and is also fault of the platform for not showing how deep the dependency-chain goes.
We should focus more on improving how we choose dependencies
