Has to be a total gag order, where he's not allowed to say anything positive or negative about the case in any public way.
The order must be at least as severe as the Roger Stone gag order as described by Politico here:

@Joshua Would you say it would meet the Stone standard if the following statement said the following: "Consider this statement an order forbidding all parties from posting, emailing or speaking publicly about the case" rather than how it currently is stated as the following: "Consider this statement an order forbidding all parties from posting, emailing or speaking publicly about any members of my staff"?
Without getting into all the legal technicalities, the core thing missing from all these orders is that Trump is allowed to talk about the case and the charges as a whole, just not some of the people involved. Stone was barred from saying anything about any part of the case.
I'm an American lawyer who is pretty anti-Trump and I think this market is WAY too high. The description of the market seems to describe a very broad gag order ("cease all public communications about the case").
I think Trump will continue to be subject to narrow gag orders similar to the one Jack Smith is seeking in the DC case, but that only prohibits threatening or disparaging, not all public communication.
The idea that you are going to get a judge to order a presidential candidate to not say anything at all about an issue of public concern is....wild to me.
