Ivanka Trump's appearance at the Winter Olympics has ruffled a few feathers — especially those of U.S. Olympic freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy.

On Sunday, the Team USA athlete delivered a bewildered tweet about Trump's appearance at the closing ceremony in Pyeongchang.

"Everybody here has worked so hard to make it to the Olympics and have the opportunity to walk in the closing ceremony! Well... Everyone except Ivanka. Honestly, tf is she doing here??" he tweeted.

Representing the U.S. presidential delegation, Trump, daughter and "advisor" to President Trump, arrived in South Korea on Feb. 23, and since posed for pictures with U.S. athletes, met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and K-pop stars, and appeared at the closing ceremony.

Notably, Trump stood beside President Moon and First Lady Kim Jung-sook, standing and applauding North and South Korean athletes entering the stadium according to CNN — unlike Vice President Mike Pence, who did not stand during this moment of the opening ceremony.

Many watching at home were also perplexed by Trump's appearance at the ceremony, with many taking to Twitter to put forward their own two cents.

It wasn't the only Trump administration dig from Kenworthy during the Olympics — he also tweeted during the OAR/Germany men's hockey gold medal game, retweeting the Los Angeles Timeswith this little burn:

Not all U.S. athletes were anti-Trump during the visit, however. U.S. bobsledder Nate Weber heralded his support for Trump, retweeting a post from White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.

Fellow U.S. bobsled athlete Lauren Gibbs took a selfie and decided it best to sit on the fence.
