From what I have seen, people say Trump's plan won't work because it will only increase the debt. Will it?
I assume it's a rhetorical question, because the answer is a fairly obvious "yes".
Debt (or surplus) is the product of two factors, income and expense. A change to either without an offsetting modification to the other results in a corresponding increase or decrease to the debt.
