Gymnast Simone Biles mocked former President Donald Trump’s “Black jobs” comment from the presidential debate earlier this summer.

Olympic “GOAT” Simone Biles took a break from making history at the 2024 Paris Olympics to take a jab at former President Donald Trump, who during a debate in June referred to occupations held by Black people as “Black jobs.”

The 27-year-old Houston, Texas native, who has already won two gold medals in Paris, replied to an X post shared by singer Ricky Davila.

“Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job,” Davila wrote on Thursday.

In response, Biles’ X post on Friday morning said, “I love my black job.”

Biles’ comment pokes fun at a moment from the June 27 presidential debate between President Joe Biden and Trump. The Republican presidential nominee made the “Black jobs” remark while explaining his thoughts on immigrants’ impact on the U.S. economy.

“They’re taking Black jobs now and it could be 18, it could be 19 and even 20 million people,” Trump said during the debate. “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.”
