Simone Biles latest comment is taking over the internet as more than 15 million people have viewed what she had to say in response to what former President Donald Trump stated about black people.
Biles took a swipe at former President Trump on the social platform X after she won another gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“I love my black job,” Biles said in a post on Friday.

The 27-year-old won the gold medal in women’s all-around artistic gymnastics, which came after she scored team gold earlier in the week, making her the most decorated U.S. gymnast of all time.
The former President used the term “Black jobs” once before and did so once again in a Wednesday interview at the National Association of Black Journalists convention.
“I will tell you that coming — coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking Black jobs. You had the best —” Trump said, as one of the moderators asked him what a “Black job” was.
“A Black job is anybody that has a job. That’s what it is,” Trump said. “Anybody that has a job.”
During the debate with Joe Biden in June, Trump first used the phrase “Black jobs” while responding to a question about the Southern border.
“They’re taking Black jobs and they’re taking Hispanic jobs and you haven’t seen it yet but you’re going to see something that’s going to be the worst in our history,” the former president said.
His use of the term sparked thousands of memes, and now Simone Biles has extended the use of the term by trolling him.
For Biles, this is a dream Olympics performance. She withdrew from some competitions at the Tokyo Olympics because she caught a case of “the twisties,” which caused a gymnast to lose air awareness.
She faced both criticism and praise for her decision, with some labeling her as a “quitter.”
Simone Biles Made More History In Paris
Simone Biles made history on Thursday when she won the gold in the individual all-around final at the 2024 Paris Summer Games. She became just the third woman to win the women’s individual all-around twice.
