    Earlier this week, Trump posted a tweet that said: “I hear the Ricketts family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $’s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!” The reference was to a reported campaign contribution made by Ricketts’ mother, Marlene, to an anti-Trump PAC.

    Speaking to reporters at the Cubs’ spring training complex in suburban Phoenix on Wednesday, Ricketts said: “It’s a little surreal when Donald Trump threatens your mom.”

    Marlene Ricketts is married to Joe Ricketts, the billionaire founder of T.D. Ameritrade.

    When the urge for liberty destroys order, the need for order will destroy liberty. All who wish for a “strongman”, be very careful what you wish for.
