Simone Biles Brutally Mocks Donald Trump After Olympic Triumph
Simone Biles is having a triumphant Summer Olympics in Paris and celebrated her latest victory by seemingly poking fun at former president Donald Trump.
The Team USA gymnast won her second gold medal at the Paris Olympics on Thursday, August 1, taking the top honors in the individual all-around event. Earlier in the week, Biles and her teammates won the gold medal in the women’s team gymnastics final.
On Friday morning (August 2), Biles took to X, where she reshared a photo of her gold medal celebration, writing, “I love my black job.”
Biles was retweeting a post from singer-songwriter Ricky Davila, who wrote, “Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job.”

The posts appeared to reference Trump’s comments made during his speech at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on Wednesday, July 31.
During the tense question-and-answer portion of the event, Trump claimed that immigrants are taking “Black jobs,” stating, “I will tell you that coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking Black jobs.”
When asked to explain what he meant by the term “Black job,” the Republican presidential nominee said, “A Black job is anybody that has a job. That’s what it is.”
Fans took to the comments on Biles’ post to play along, with one commenter writing, “Another strong female doing her BLACK JOB. Way to go Simone.”
Another wrote, “We love your black job Simone.”
“Hang on Trump is saying you only just recently became Black,” quipped another.
The latter comment was a reference to another controversial statement Trump made during the NABJ event, where he questioned whether Vice President Kamala Harris is actually Black.
“I’ve known [Harris] for a long time indirectly, directly, very much,” Trump shared. “And 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?”

If you read the article I'm guessing you're just trying to pivot to certain views of certain audiences who love a certain former president no matter what he says or does...

I totally agree but if these are editors writing this making it seem like Simone said something that she didn't mean "Okay, "good job social media".
But if she did say this for sure not doing the research and like you said making Trump look sinister doesn't fix anything.
The people that react to this, we're all making her look good it's really not helping. If you or others really care about black jobs, then do your research. Or do something about it. Or just keep being you, Biles and win those gold medals for America.
Also Meaning, for others, go do a protest, pay your taxes, and volunteer to help people get off the street meaning fellow Americans. If that's what you're worried about the immigrants Black jobs. I have to admit black jobs does sound like a racist term it should just be called jobs, to be honest. Because at this day and time and point we're already all diverse. But the racism will still goes on in people's minds or the bias.
But let's all remember too this is just my opinion nothing set in stone.
So, whether blacky, browny or whitey jobs or being taken. Government past officials are the ones who open the doors to this country to all people because it's called the land of the free!
If it's that big of a deal then we should make it look like a World War one and a World War II with all our Americans to block out immigrants if it's that big of a deal.
For Biles, keep up the good work.

When did people stop understanding figures of speech and verbal "shorthand"? EVERYONE knows what "black jobs" means, but because it was Donald Trump who said it, they have to pretend they don't and that he means something sinister. The issue is that illegal immigrants are taking jobs that would otherwise go to black people who need them. (But sure, make the issue "what Trump said.")America loves Simone, so why turn off HALF of them? What does that accomplish? "Ha ha I sure told hm." Yeah, I guess, but then what?.She should research Megan Rapinoe and what people think of her and why.

Most people I know (who are soccer fans) LOVE Megan Rapinoe. Not only her talent and drive, but also her willingness to bring attention to the status of women in sport.
