White House press secretary Josh Earnest encouraged President-elect Trump on Monday to take advantage of the "expertise and advice" of career diplomats at the State Department as the controversy surrounding the incoming president's recent call to Taiwan continues to boil over.
"Whenever you are talking about the president-elect interacting with foreign leaders, it's incredibly important. It has profound consequences for our country and for our national interests around the world," Earnest said in response to a reporter's question about whether Trump is "winging" his discussions with foreign leaders.
"Last week, we had some conversations about a conversation the president-elect had with the prime minister of Pakistan, and I noted in answering questions about that telephone call that President Obama, over the course of his eight years in the White House, has benefited significantly from the expertise, advice and experience of career diplomats at the State Department," he said. Earnest said that expertise is currently available to Trump and "will continue to be available to him when he enters the Oval Office."

So that he may continue the stellar success of Hillary and Obama.
Career diplomats are the problem.
Oh my how the mighty are falling!!! (sic)
Those on high b*stards are on the ledge with their
bleeding fingernails clinging to the last their
last remnant of power.
Scrambling verbiage & issuing false orders
I spit on them all
They are living in fairyland with their delusions of
grandeur and power.
We have a President-elect and he’s going to do it HIS WAY!
“FOAD”
I like it.
As my old TAC officer said; “Stylish, very stylish.”
My favorite has always been BIOYAC
Be well.
He should reply, “Which state? There’s 50 of them!’
So they come up with this request for Trump to consult with Kerry on the Obama administration's talking points. Yeah, that's going to happen./s/
Kind of like the crybaby, diaper-pin wearing Hillary supporters, "But it's just not fair!"
This is funny. Worth a thousand words. Same body language Putin had with Obama.
Ah, the famous “Freeper Lingo” thread from 2006

Drain the swamp . . . start at the State Dept.
Yeah, he should consult the authors of the bloodstained “Arab Spring” on how to keep peace among nations. They’ll set him right.
Dear Mister President, what difference, at this point, does it make?
(Trump to Whitehouse ...up yours!)
Trump to White House: elections have consequences.
Dear lame ducks.
STFU. I’m still a private citizen and I’ll talk to whomever I please. Then, after noon eastern on 1/21/2017, I’ll still talk to whomever I please. Now, shut your pie hole.
The WON.
At that level, the staff of each arranges the call, so the both are expecting it on a scheduled basis.
Who initially directed their staff to arrange it (side #1) and accept the call (side #2) has not been conclusively admitted by either party.
Trump has been more productive for America in the month following election before his inauguration than Bimmy Bammy has in 8 years.
Trump: “Like what your ‘career diplomats’ were doing was working so well.”
I thought that Trump indicated that he ‘accepted a congratulatory call.’
