Yesterday afternoon, Donald Trump threatened to boycott tomorrow’s FNC-hosted GOP debate. And as Twitchy told you, it appears that he’s making good on his promise.
But according to the man himself, Megyn Kelly‘s not the main reason for his refusal to participate in the debate — this is:
It was the childishly written & taunting PR statement by Fox that made me not do the debate, more so than lightweight reporter, @megynkelly.

Glad that’s settled.

@realDonaldTrump @megynkelly @newspolitics @FoxNews Fox should apologize to Trump for this statement unprofessional

@realDonaldTrump @megynkelly Exactly! They mocked you. You showed them who the boss is. FoxNews doesn't own/cant intimidate #Trump

.@realdonaldtrump Can't even begin to soak in the irony of Trump criticizing anyone else for childish/taunting statements.

.@realDonaldTrump @megynkelly Much like your childishly written and taunting tweets? You can dish it out, but can’t take it.

@realDonaldTrump @megynkelly is it not a childish taunt to call a reporter a lightweight?

@realDonaldTrump Interesting that you recognize childishness in others.

@realDonaldTrump well you certainly know about childishly written things – don't want them to Bigfoot on your territory

@realDonaldTrump @megynkelly You calling someone ELSE childish is pure comedy gold.

@realDonaldTrump #Trump, it was YOU who started drama w/your childish teasing about whether or not to do debate! @megynkelly has been FAIR.

@realDonaldTrump @megynkelly Bullshit. You're scared to death of her.

@realDonaldTrump insists all childish and taunting remarks must be made by him and only him and not Fox News or @megynkelly.

Childishly written and taunting, unlike this tweet… https://t.co/73fVD8oXSf

Well, in any event, Trump evidently isn’t boycotting Fox altogether:
I will be interviewed on @oreillyfactor tonight at 8:00 P.M. (Eastern). Enjoy!
