(AFP) – Olympic gymnastics superstar Simone Biles has already thrown down some epic performances in Paris — and now, she is throwing some shade at Donald Trump.
“I love my black job,” the 27-year-old posted Friday on social media platform X, alongside a black heart emoji, following her history-making gold medal win in the all-around competition. She was responding to a post from singer Ricky Davila, who shared photos of Biles showing off her medal with the caption: “Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job.”
Speaking to a conference of Black journalists this week, Republican White House candidate Trump said undocumented migrants are taking “Black jobs.” Asked to specify what was a “Black job,” Trump responded: “A Black job is anybody that has a job.” It is a phrase he has used many times on the campaign trail.
Trump is running against Democratic US Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman ever to secure a major party’s nomination.
