What are the odds Trump will follow through with the apparently uncounseled threat to sue the WSJ?

How is it literal?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literal

we will go with definition b “adhering to fact or to the ordinary construction or primary meaning of a term or expression”

now to break down the joke above. There are two important subparts:

Impeached Presidents
Andrew Johnson
Bill Clinton
Donald Trump

Impeached Presidents Who Flew On Epstein’s Plane
Bill Clinton
Donald Trump

Impeached Presidents Who Did Not Fly On Epstein’s Plane
Andrew Johnson

now taking the primary meaning of the tweet, adding “Bill Clinton says ‘Hi!’” is literally the joke. Hope that helps!

Democrats stumble when challenged on why they didn&#039;t release Epstein docs under Biden
Democrats stumble when challenged on why they didn't release Epstein docs under Biden

As I've mentioned, if Trump was in any of these files, the previous administration would have released them in January of 2021 - OR saved them for an October surprise in 2024.

You can bank on it, Jack!

Low, probably. 

It’s generally a good guess that Whenever someone says they’re going to sue someone, they likely won’t. And if they do, the chances that they “win” are pretty low, though they might leverage a settlement, sometimes for real money, sometimes for good PR.

Well if the fella who starred in “The hot chick” says something, I suppose we should listen.

Exactly. It's just typical Trump bluster.

Noted liberal rag, the WSJ.

As a 31 year reader of the wsj, the news page is not a conservative paper the past dozen years.  They even had a big feud internally, the news side vs the editorial side (which still remains quite conservative but certainly still not MAGA).

The news side has had several tantrums with the editorial side of the building over their criticisms. Ed page called them out a few years ago. 

Trump will sue, his track record says he will.

I don't think he'll sue, but I agree with the rest of your post.

The bigger point is that he's somehow managed to piss off Rupert Murdoch. 

As for the inevitable lawsuit, I would imagine 'ol Rupert's response to be something along the lines of this:
