Simone Biles: "I Love My Black Job!"

[Lunabell]

After Simone Biles cemented her status as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time at the Paris Olympics, she took an apparent dig at former President Trump on Friday.

Why it matters: It's one of the few overtly political moments at the Paris Games but underscores Biles' sense of triumph after she drew flak from Trump's now-running mate JD Vance for leaving the Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental health.

Driving the news: "I love my black job," Biles wrote on X Friday.

She posted the comment in response to another user who had written, "Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job."
It's an apparent dig at Trump's controversial comments earlier this week, telling a roomful of Black journalists that immigrants are taking "Black jobs."
Trump also used similar language about "Black jobs" during his presidential debate against President Biden in June.
The big picture: Biles has won two gold medals at the Paris Games so far and has three events left to go.

4. Now need to get Taylor Swift to go public.

Democrats need to campaign on that 'black jobs" statement. This is what I believe TSF means.

TSF talks about deporting millions of undocumented workers, who is going to do those labor jobs? Is this what TSF means by Immigrants taking American jobs, that black people will replace the deported immigrants?

The recent sit down with black journalists almost got him to spill the beans when he was asked to explain black jobs. TSF blurted out , all jobs. So I guess that means that people on TSF's enemy list, no matter their color, will replace the deported immigrants.

If TSF is elected and people protest just arrest them all, put them in concentration camps near the fields where crops need to be gathered. TSF can make white people slaves too, he won't be racist.
