Donald Trump promised supporters at a rally in Dallas on Monday that if elected president, he will reduce taxes — but the Republican frontrunner didn't spill any specifics on how it will be done.

Trump told an estimated 17,000 people at American Airlines Center that he would share details about his plan, which is "going to be really pro-growth," sometime "over the next three weeks or so." Corporations, he added, "are paying far too much, far too much. Middle-income people are being decimated."

Trump's speech covered his typical topics, including immigration ("we have to build a wall, folks") and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ("the worst secretary of state in the history of our country"). He also told the audience that they will "remember this evening" and being "part of a movement to take back our country," and he vowed — without further elaboration — "to have so many victories that, at some point, they're just going to be coming out of your ears."
