Biles' celebratory post on Friday was enough to turn heads.

“I love my black job,” Biles wrote on X.

The references to “black work” appeared to be an attack on former President Trump, who made the initial reference during a debate against President Biden on June 27.

“The fact is, his biggest attack on black people is the millions of people he's allowed to come across the border. Now they're stealing black jobs,” Trump said of illegal immigrants during the CNN debate. “They're stealing black jobs and Hispanic jobs. And you haven't seen it yet, but you're going to see something that's going to be the worst thing in our history.”

Trump was asked again about the reference during his appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists conference earlier this week.

“A black job is anybody who has a job,” Trump said.

Biles received support from LeBron James after the comment was posted.
