I just read several responses from lawyers with experience in criminal law, and the best response came from Elizabeth de la Vega.
See the screenshot for her response.
My view: calm, restrained understatement is most effective.
Responding to Trump's fist-shaking with more fist-shaking elevates Trump.
Smith has the power. Trump has none.
Smith doesn't need to threaten or bluster.
Trump's post doesn't name anyone. He's a mobster. He knows how to give himself deniability.

Notice: Trump's post doesn't name anyone.
He's a mobster. He knows how to give himself deniability.
He's testing the waters. The response will baffle him because he doesn't understand restrained subtlety.
