Donald Trump has turned his anger away from the Pope for a brief moment, and has taken aim at the ownership of the Chicago Cubs. Trump believes that the Ricketts’ family (who bought the Cubs in 2009) has been spending money directly aimed at taking down the Donald. He then took to Twitter to fire off a warning shot.
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!

According to CBS this appears to be true, but in a very small manner:
This January, Joe Ricketts’ wife, Marlene, contributed $3 million to the anti-Trump Our Principles political action committee, according to federal election campaign reports. Lake Forest businessman Richard Uihlein contributed $7,500.
The group paid for anti-Trump ads and mailers before the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries, according to the campaign reports.
Long story short, Trump will probably not be attending a Cubs game anytime soon.
