CNN's Reality Check Team vets Trump's State of the Union


(CNN) President Donald Trump on Tuesday delivered his first State of the Union address, and CNN's Reality Check Team was there to vet his claims. The team of reporters, researchers and editors across CNN listened throughout the speech and analyzed key statements, rating them either true, true but misleading, or false. Tax analysts and Treasury data, however, contradict the assertion that the tax cuts included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are the biggest in US history. As for the tax cuts themselves, they are notable, although not enormous for manyThe middle class, for instance, would see tax cuts on average, especially in the next five years. Plus, for most middle-income groups, their tax cuts will start to diminish and then disappear completely, since individual tax cuts and other benefits would expire after 2025.
