Fun fact: Adam Rippon is good at figure skating.

Another fun fact: Adam Rippon is also good at tweeting. Like, VERY good at it. Like, make-Twitter-an-Olympic-sport-then-give-Adam-a-gold-medal levels of good at tweeting.

Since he arrived at Pyeongchang, Rippon -- a.k.a America's sweetheart -- has been tweeting up a storm.

And while other people have been sending out Bad Tweets about the Olympics (*cough* Bari Weiss *cough*), Rippon has been tweeting dispatches from his Olympic journey, as well as sending out support to some of his fellow competitors, with a flair and a panache that has been, quite frankly addicting.

His tweets shine brighter than his bedazzled skating outfits. And if you're not following him on Twitter you're missing it all.

But fear not. Here are some of Adam Rippon's best tweets:

That time he subtweeted Donald Trump Jr. to hell and back:

Adam does NOT have time for feuding, Donald Trump, Jr.

That time he was the literal embodiment of self-confidence:

"A glamazon bitch ready for the runway"? I live. I LIVE!

That time he met one of his fellow competitors, and read him for filth:

And don't worry. It looks like Emery took it in his stride:

That time that he gave us the daily affirmation we all need sometimes:

That time Adam shipped himself and Olympic bae Gus Kenworthy as much as the rest of us shipped Adam and Olympic bae Gus Kenworthy:

That time Adam, once again, gave thanks to his haters:

That time he preached the good Lord's truth about that oiled up flag bearer from Tonga:

Guess who's back. Back again. The Tonga flag bearer is back. TELL LITERALLY EVERYONE.

And it's not just the Olympics. Adam has been delivering us fire tweets since before the Winter Games started.

Like that time he taught us what it takes to snap gorgeous photos:

Turns out the secret is Taco Bell.

And that time he invented tank tops:

Your fave could never.

That time Adam found his one true love:

Because, in the immortal words of RuPual, if you can't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else.

And who can forget that time Adam found his "me" time:

Provided without comment.

Everybody. Tweet like Adam Rippon.
