Who are you trying to threaten?


Explanation:
Without more context, that's what I would say.

It could also be "Are you trying to threaten me?"

... agree with Mr. Sharma when he says it would be in the sense of "Do you know who it is you're trying to threaten?"

It could also mean "Don't try to threaten me (you don't know who I am)."
