He’s not “testing tolerance”. He is violating the terms of his release. Flagrantly and repeatedly. If the justice system wants to continue to command respect, they need a show-cause hearing followed by remanding him to custody until he stands trial. Just as would happen to literally anyone else intimidating witnesses or threatening the judiciary. It would be controversial only with people with no respect for the law already. It needs to be done.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Former President Donald Trump is testing the tolerance of the judiciary, and perhaps even his own legal team, with belligerent messages about prosecutors, witnesses and judges involved in the criminal cases against him.

Trump already has disparaged former Vice President Mike Pence, who could be a key witness against him in a federal election interference trial, and urged former Georgia Lt. Gov.

But lawyers familiar with Trump’s rhetoric said they expect the former president to wade into commentary, and personal attacks, on people involved in bringing him to justice across four separate criminal indictments in four different jurisdictions.

Judges overseeing the cases against Trump may have an array of tools at their disposal to try to keep him in check: from warnings, to a gag order, to fines, to even short periods of incarceration.

But Judge Chutkan said that Trump’s status as a criminal defendant meant that some of his First Amendment rights must “yield” to a need to protect witnesses and the jury pool from possible taint.

Cannon is presiding over a Florida case that accuses Trump of keeping highly classified documents in a basement, ballroom and bathroom at the Mar-a-Lago resort, then refusing to return them to the FBI.
