Leaving aside the obvious "Trump wants to increase taxes!" troll job, which is too easy...

I think it's a good idea. 

We already have a trillion dollar deficit for the coming year, and if we want to add an additional trillion dollars for infrastructure, an increase in the gas tax is a good way to fund it.  Because for one thing, I don't think an infrastructure plan would get through congress if is just adds to the deficit.  Secondly, it's a dedicated source of funding, which is directly related to what it's paying for.
