Out-of-context, this doesn't seem too bad. People are often "auctioned" or "sold" for charity, and even the sexist jokes, despite being horrible, are the sort of thing you see all the time..... That being said, this is a check from Donald Trump to a known sex trafficker for a woman.
And you can imagine what today's propaganda media would say if there was a Democrat or an actual progressive politician's name on that novelty check, even if it was just some stupid charity auction and had nothing to do with a sex trafficker.
