“Following his momentum-building victory in South Carolina, Donald Trump today took aim at the Ricketts family, accusing the Chicago Cubs’ owners of funneling their cash into initiatives aimed at bringing down the GOP presidential front-runner.
The tweet also contains a veiled threat: ‘I hear the Rickets family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $’s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!’
Members of the Ricketts’ family, led by Thomas Ricketts, bought the Cubs in 2009.
Ricketts’ father, Joe, is the founder of Ameritrade, but he does not have any active role in the baseball club. Joe Ricketts is active politically, spending his wealth on efforts to curtail government spending.”
