The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Eric Trump this week proved he is a chip off the old block after he confused his cliches while attacking Democrats on Twitter.
“The chips are starting to crumble,” the son of President Donald Trump perplexingly tweeted on Tuesday:
The chips are starting to crumble!These are truly bad people... https://t.co/0GML347eWZ

Dozens of people on Twitter pointed out that there appears to be no such saying. Others slapped Trump with botched idioms of their own:
No use crying over pissed milk

Eric Trump is, quite possibly, the only person to have ever used the phrase "the chips are starting to crumble" on the internet other than someone posting on the official forums of The Bold and the Beautiful. pic.twitter.com/MCtfeug8QK
