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.
