Joe Ricketts plans to donate $1M to support Donald Trump campaign

The decision by Ricketts, who founded TD Ameritrade, is "particularly startling," according to the Washington Post, since Trump had threatened to expose secrets about the Ricketts family, which owns the Chicago Cubs, after Joe Ricketts' wife, Marlene, gave an initial $3 million earlier this year to the anti-Trump group Our Principles PAC.
