I don't think so. I'm not a Catholic and don't really know much about it, but I don't think they have lay brothers or tertiaries or anything. Wikipedia says there's ~16,000 Jesuits in the world. They're a lot smaller than other Catholic orders of comparable fame, I think.

Becoming a Jesuit takes a really long time (like 8 or more years), but that still might be shorter than the Trump presidency.
