'I love my black job': Simone Biles takes apparent swipe at Trump after winning Olympics gold

• American gymnast Simone Biles appeared to take a swipe at former President Donald Trump, tweeting "I love my black job" after winning the individual all-around gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
• Trump, who is the Republican presidential nominee, sparked controversy by recently saying immigrants are "taking Black jobs."
• Trump this week falsely suggested Vice President Kamala Harris, the de facto Democratic nominee, had not always presented herself as Black.

American gymnast Simone Biles appeared to take a swipe at former President Donald Trump on Friday morning, tweeting "I love my black job" after winning her second individual all-around gold medal at the Paris Olympics.

Biles' post on the social media platform X seemed to reference Trump's recent controversial comments that immigrants are "taking Black jobs."

The Republican presidential nominee had said, "They're taking Black jobs now and it could be 18, it could be 19 and even 20 million people," during his June 27 debate against President Joe Biden.

"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," Trump said.

Data does not support Trump's claim that immigrants are "taking" jobs from American workers.

CNBC has requested comment from Trump's campaign about Biles' tweet.

Trump was asked on Wednesday to clarify what he meant by "Black jobs" in a Q&A session with three reporters at the National Association of Black Journalists' annual convention.

"A Black job is anybody that has a job," he said.

"That's what it is. Anybody that has — they're taking the employment away from Black people. They're coming in, and they're coming in, they're invading."
