Simone Biles Turns 1 Of Donald Trump's Controversial Terms Into A Winning Tweet

Simone Biles celebrated her “black job” after winning her second all-around gymnastics gold at the Paris Olympics.

“I love my black job,” the nine-time Olympic medalist wrote on X, formerly Twitter, sharing a tweet from singer Ricky Davila that read: “Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job.”

Former President Donald Trump has injected the term into the public discourse in recent weeks, raising eyebrows with his use of the phrase on multiple occasions.

The Republican nominee claimed during the June 27 presidential debate that undocumented immigrants crossing over the southern border are “taking Black jobs now.”

It prompted many to wonder what on earth a “Black job” is supposed to be, and they accuse Trump of leaning into stereotypes about the type of work Black people do.

Several Black Democrats called it out, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett (Texas), who wrote at the time, “I’m assuming Trump doesn’t think my job is a ‘black job.’”

Trump made the same assertion again during his disastrous appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists annual convention on Wednesday.

Many social media users have since used the term to describe roles like being an Olympic legend or, say, the presidency, joking that Vice President Kamala Harris is gearing up for the ultimate Black job.

Biles has won two gold medals so far this Olympics, bringing her tally to six.

On Thursday night she became the first U.S. gymnast in history to win two all-around golds; she also took home the top prize in 2016. With five eponymous skills and a more decorated record than any other gymnast in history, she’s widely considered to be the greatest of all time at her sport.
