What the record shows
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (Trump admin) reduced federal revenues by ~$1.5T over 10 years (CBO estimate). The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (Bush admin) was ~$1.35T over 10 years. By static revenue loss, TCJA was larger; by some historical measures (e.g., as % of GDP or nominal dollars at enactment), other cuts rank comparably or higher.
Claim of 'largest tax cuts in American history' is subjective without specifying metric (revenue loss, percentage of GDP, nominal dollars, time period).
