Trump's plan is to reduce the number of brackets down to 3, and reduce the marginal rates (top down from 39.6% to 33%). He has said this can be afforded by eliminating certain tax credits / deductions, and capping others - not that he's actually pointed out what those are.
If he's being honest about the reduction/elimination of tax deductions, it could come out as a net wash in terms of revenues. (Afterall, if marginal rates are ~40% and billionaires are paying under 20%, there's some serious deductions that can be eliminated or capped). It has the added benefit of reducing the complexity of taxes - a complexity which is unique to America (for middle-class filers).
I'm not so sure you can trust him on that though, seeing as (I don't think) he's given any specifics, and I've actually seen him propose more deductions for childcare. So, yeah...

As for the calculations in the article, ridiculous. It's impossible knowledge. Too many variables, too many assumed actions.
