WH to Trump: Consult with State before talking to foreign leaders
Washington Times ^ | 12/5/16 | Gabby Morrongiello

Posted on 12/05/2016 12:45:54 PM PST by Nachum

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."

Take the list of current employees and past employees at the State Dept. Put them in a database, and hire people to fill the spot that have never worked for them. Blackball previous employees for life. THERE, problem fixed.

To quote Obama:

“You don’t like a particular policy or a particular President? Then ....go out there and win an election.”

“Elections have consequences, and, in case there was any doubt, Trump won.”

From September:

Barack Obama ‘deliberately snubbed’ by Chinese in chaotic arrival at G20

The US president was denied the usual red carpet welcome and forced to ‘go out of the a**’ of Air Force One, observers say
