White House officials confirm Donald Trump's incompetence but they must go "on the record"

A blog published in Daily KOS asks for White House officials to go on the record when they are disclosing Donald Trump's growing incompetence and his reluctance to accept expert advice. 

As Donald Trump continues to fire those in his cabinet who are experts, he is causing enormous anxiety about his mental competence. Moreover, the people who he appoints to fill "temporary positions", vacated by his repeated firings of experts, are largely inexperienced and thereby unqualified to do their jobs.


White House staffers must speak publicly about Donald Trumps incompetence.
George Conway, husband of Kellyanne Conway, has certainly gone on the record. 

Obviously, Mr. Conway is receiving information via his wife Kellyanne Conway.  This is certainly a convoluted arrangement but Mr. Conway's credibility has not been questioned, regardless of how caustic he has been with the criticism of his wife's boss, as in this CNN headline:

Kellyanne Conway's husband calls Trump administration 'a s***show in a dumpster fire*

George Conway said his views of the administration further soured with the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, and the ensuing Russia-related probe by special counsel Robert Mueller (Reported in the Washington Examiner)
Obviously, Donald Trump is a failed human being and a terrible political leader  So, why won't his White House staff call our the flawed Trumpeter for "having no cloths". In other words, who is going to finally go on record to reveal the truth?

As reported in the Daily KOS blog by voidstuff (not subject to review by Daily Kos staff):

A senior administration official told CNN’s Jim Sciutto that national security decision-making has “basically stopped working” and decisions are “made on a whim on phone calls.” The official added the Syria withdrawal was “a complete reversal” and it was done “without deliberation, no consideration of risks.”

American allies and partners are “shocked and totally bewildered” and the Syrian Democratic Forces “don’t believe this is happening,” the official said.

There are a couple of things here. 

First, the obvious one, of course, is that Trump is a danger to the US and the world. As if we didn’t already know that. But when it comes from a senior Trump official, that makes it all the more worrisome.

The other thing is — WTF is wrong with these anonymous senior White House officials? If things are as bad as they are saying, why are they remaining anonymous instead of coming right out and urging either invoking the 25th Amendment and/or impeachment? By passing the word to CNN anonymously, instead of choosing a course of action that could actually help fix the problem, this person and others like him/her are betraying the country. This brings spinelessness to a new level.

I’ll admit, that my first reaction to these stories has always been a feeling of vindication to hear that even insiders are admitting what’s been obvious to me and the rest of us for a long time. But really, enough is enough. It’s time for these people to grow a spine and to step up. When the very security of this nation is on the line, we’re beyond the limit. 

This madness cannot be allowed to continue.

*Conway is a frequent critic of the administration in which his wife is a prominent figure. Moreover, he said his caustic views on the administration were tested when he was under consideration to lead the Department of Justice's civil division last year. But he ultimately withdrew.
