I just have this mental image of Trump as a kid holding a magnifying glass and scorching and terrorizing an ants nest. The democrats and the deep state are the ants.

Just MO.
Saying something you were told from a person who got the info 2nd hand from someone is is NOT being a whistle blower.

Right, the whistleblower that "wasn't a direct witness to most events."

On the flip-side, publicly naming him (particularly when done in conjunction with Trump demonizing him on twitter) could result in reprisals against him and will likely have a chilling effect on future whistle-blowers.

There is no reason to name him publicly but there is a big downside to doing so, which is exactly why whistle-blower laws grant whistle-blowers anonymity. Ask Chuck Grassley - he was the champion of whistleblower laws until he checked his belief at the door of the house of Trump.
"No one relied on his testimony during the impeachment proceedings" The ENTIRE dem casewas based on what the NON-whistle blower claimed.

I just love the bright, disinfecting light of day. Here's a little light for ya, Eric (and his crony defenders).

Eric Ciaramela.
When you look him up
in the encyclopedia, they just show a picture of a swamp.
His nickname is DS. You can guess what THAT stands for!

Does it begin with Dick?
