After winning gold medal in the women’s gymnastics all-around final at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles knocked former US President Donald Trump for controversial comments about ‘Black jobs.’
“I love my black job,” the 27-year-old American star gymnast tweeted by quote-tweeting a post that called her ‘the GOAT’ and said “winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job.”
As per several fans, the tweet was referred to a clapback to Trump’s recent assertions about migrants taking ‘Black jobs’ in the United States.
The exchange not-so-subtly alluded to Trump’s repeated use of the phrase, has sparked controversy and criticism for stoking fears about immigration and reinforcing racial stereotypes.
Notably, Biles is widely considered the greatest of all time in her sport. She staged a stunning comeback this Olympics, winning two gold medals and bringing her total to six. She became the first US gymnast in history to win two all-around gold medals, having also taken home the top prize in 2016.
