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.
