What the record shows
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 reduced federal revenues by ~$1.5T over 10 years (CBO estimate). By revenue impact, it ranks among the largest; by share of GDP or historical comparison, smaller than Kennedy (1964) or Reagan (1981) cuts. Claim lacks specificity on metric (revenue loss, rate reduction, or GDP share).
