Earlier today (I think?) he posted an Instagram video saying Megyn Kelly was too unfair to him.

[Update from Mr. Morden: Trump spokesman says he's definitely skipping: http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/01/26/trump-most-likely-won-t-do-fox-debate.html?via=twitter_page ]

I genuinely hope this happens.

Here's the Instagram link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BBAvs0rmheW/?taken-by=realdonaldtrump
The video is him sitting behind a desk.

I'm not quite sure how his supporters will take this. Refusing to debate sounds like a low-energy thing.

It may play well if he does this "I'm too good for this" card. Plus, he has already complained about Kelly and made questionable comments about her, and didn't cost him support.

If Trump can't handle Megyn Kelly, how will he be able to handle Hillary?

As nice as it would be for him to sit out the debate, I'm pretty confident he will capitulate in the end.  There's no way he'll leave the spotlight just days before a crucial caucus.

Great decision, only helps in making him look like the GOP nominee already. The message this sends is why would TRUMP have to share a debate table with a bunch of nincompoops who are just fighting for second place? He looks inevitable.

Plus now he's not only going to be in the center of a media frenzy for the next few days (obscuring everyone else), he will also manage to turn off millions of debate views for that awful piece of crap channel.

He's apparently doing a simultaneous fundraiser for (wounded) veterans in Iowa.

Listen, I get that he may get some points for sticking up to the "big bad mainstream media", which amazingly now includes Fox News and Megyn Kelly. But what person, who is going to show up to the caucus and is deciding between Cruz and Trump, is not going to see Trump for the pussy that he is and will not be swayed by Cruz et al laying punches on the absent baby?

Anyway this is wonderful news. Best debate ever.

Ol' Felito Cruz is going to demolish him and it's going to be so much fun to watch.

This is true. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it went either way: it's different than everything else he's done, but, after all, he is the Teflon Don.

How is avoiding a biased establishment circlejerk to do some actual good being a pussy?

I wonder if Fox is going to leave an empty podium and ask ot questions?

Right now it's just Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Christie, Bush and Paul

Because he is afraid of Megyn Kelly?
