Donald Trump Attacks Chicago Cubs' Ownership

Don't mess with Hair Brain

Having just cleaned up in South Carolina, forced Jeb Bush to Charlie Brown Shuffle his way of the presidential race and made Westeros great again, Donald Trump has turned the full force of his perma-tanned fury toward another unlikely foe: The Chicago Cubs.

As if they haven't suffered enough.

To be clear, Trump isn't totally taking on the Cubbies, but rather, their owners, the Ricketts family, who bought a majority share of the team in 2009. Seems the Donald is furious that Marlene Ricketts, wife of billionaire J. Joe Ricketts, had contributed a reported $3 million to a super PAC that had been hammering the GOP frontrunner with negative ads ahead of the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire and South Carolina primaries.

"I hear the Rickets [sic] family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $'s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!" Trump presidentially threatened tweeted Monday.

Rich people don't get rich without screwing people over. The Ricketts family knows this and Donald knows it too. Next thing you know they'll wake up with a horse head in their bed.
