As Fox News notes, according to the Tax Foundation, Trump's tax law was the sixth-largest tax cut in the United States since 1940 when measured as a share of the economy.
FBI data, meanwhile, point to a sharp decline in violent crime. The murder rate fell to 4.1 per 100,000 people, matching the figures for 1955 and 1956.
