Donald Trump once famously said, "Anybody that likes me, I like."

And anybody who dislikes him? Well, the Ricketts family, which owns the Chicago Cubs, may soon find out what it's like to be on Trump's bad side.

The Republican presidential candidate, who is known for his blunt style that helped him win each of the last two GOP primaries, has called out plenty of people and organizations via his Twitter page that has over 6 million likes.

On Monday, his target was the Ricketts, who don't support Trump's bid for the White House.

The Ricketts family's spending against Trump is hardly a secret, though. USA TODAY reported the "matriarch" of the family, Marlene Ricketts, donated $3 million to Our Principles PAC, an anti-Trump super PAC.

"Campaign-finance reports filed over the weekend disclosed her as the super PAC's largest contributor," according to USA TODAY.
