Should I report this to the FAA?


Perhaps.

There is a lot of room for error in aviation. You might just calk-up
the incident to experience, and attempt to learn as much as you can
from it by analyzing what occurred and discussing it as you are now.

If you feel that the pilot of the Citation deliberately committed an
unsafe act, and consider him a threat to himself and others, I would
recommend you talk to him directly as a first step. If it turns out
that his explanation of the incident appears unreasonable from your
point of view, consider discussing it with his employer next. Review
his Part 135 documents and see if the broadcasting of self announced
position/intention reports at uncontrolled airports are mentioned in
them. Do some research, and learn all the regulations and attitudes
that are in play.

If it becomes clear that you are dealing with renegade who defend
reckless operations, then it might be time to contact a FSDO
Inspector. Taking that option as a first response denies a fellow
airman an opportunity to redeem himself, and likely will leave an
indelible mark on his FAA record that you may later feel was
unjustified.

Isn't this what you would prefer a fellow airman would do if you
happened to be the offending pilot?

This is just my 2¢.
