“I Love My Black Job”: Simone Biles Seemingly Takes Swipe At Donald Trump After Olympic Triumph.
Simone Biles celebrated her latest Olympic victory with an apparent jab at Donald Trump.
The accomplished gymnast won her second gold medal in Paris 2024 — and sixth overall — in the individual all-around event, establishing her self-proclaimed status as the best of all time.
On Friday morning, she reminisced on her latest moment of glory in a Twitter/X post that read: “I love my black job.”
Biles’ post appeared to be a reference to comments made by Trump in recent weeks. During the CNN election debate and at a rally in June, Trump warned that migrants were taking “Black jobs” and “Hispanic jobs.” He repeated this claim on Wednesday when he spoke at the National Associate of Black Journalists convention.
The former president told a roomful of Black journalists: “I will tell you that coming from the border, are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking Black jobs.” Asked to explain the baseless remark, Trump added: “A Black job is anybody that has a job. That’s what it is.”
During the same event in Chicago, Trump threw shade on whether Vice President Kamala Harris is actually Black. “She was always of Indian heritage and she was promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian, or is she Black?”
