Trump falsely claims 'biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history' in State of the Union address

During his January 30, 2018 State of the Union address, President Trump repeated the false claim that his administration enacted the 'biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history.' This is a repetition of a claim already debunked from the September 2017 tax framework unveiling, reinforcing a pattern of insistence on a false reality. PolitiFact rated the statement False, noting that in inflation-adjusted dollars the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was the fourth-largest tax cut since 1940 and ranked seventh as a percentage of GDP. The $1.5 trillion tax reduction over ten years, while substantial, is not the largest in U.S. history by multiple objective measures.
