Medicare was designed to provide health insurance for those 65 and over. The fee structure, the cost estimates, the projections for fiscal viability are all based on that. If Trump comes in and dumps millions of young and middle-aged people into the program then what does that do? Will my Medicare taxes go up? Will the premiums my parents pay go higher? How will the poor cover the gaps in Medicare coverage. Will those companies providing "Medi-gap" insurance participate since they also based all their pricing on a known demographic?

This is another instance where Trump just barfs up a proposal without him, or any of his blind supporters, asking any questions on whether it is workable or not.

I don't have a problem with it at all. I have a problem with politicians forcing poorly thought out - or in Trump's case not thought out at all - programs down our throats. Programs that don't work as expected, are much more expensive than expected, and which tend to make things worse rather than better.
