First of all that website is biased and was funded by many high ranking officials from the US government/military and secondly, if you read that article they say 'a new analysis from a non-partisan group', then don't cite their reference or even provide any kind of breakdown as to how his tax program would add that much debt. So yeah, taking this with a massive grain of salt (at this point I don't want trump or Hilary to win, but it definitely feels like there's a trump hate bandwagon that is swarming the media because it brings in viewers)

The article that the OP posted was kinda terrible, but its really easy to find the full report with a simple google search. Here it is (the more in depth analysis is available for the older tax plan, but it still largely holds for costs so you can check that out too): http://crfb.org/papers/promises-and-price-tags-preliminary-update

You are also free to read more tax specific analysis:

From your second source:

 

Key Findings

• Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s tax plan would significantly reduce income taxes and corporate taxes, and eliminate the estate tax.
• According to the Tax Foundation’s Taxes and Growth Model, the plan would reduce federal revenue by between $4.4 trillion and $5.9 trillion on a static basis. The amount depends on the nature of a key business policy provision.
• The plan would also significantly reduce marginal rates and the cost of capital, which would lead to higher long-run levels of GDP, wages, and full-time equivalent jobs.
• After accounting for the larger economy and the broader tax base, the plan would reduce revenues by between $2.6 trillion and $3.9 trillion after accounting for the larger economy, depending on the nature of a key policy provision

• The plan reduces revenue by substantially less than the plan proposed by Trump last year, on both a static and dynamic basis.
• On a static basis, the plan would lead to at least 0.8 percent higher after-tax income for all taxpayer quintiles. The plan would lead to at least 10.2 percent higher incomes for the top 1 percent of taxpayers or as much as 16.0 percent higher, depending on the nature of a key business policy provision.

So in other words, Trump wants less taxes, he wants to tax my income less, he would give the government less money to spend, and according to your first source, a large part (the majority) of his assumed debt over 10 years would be from repealing obamacare?
