"I love my black job," the 27-year-old posted Friday on social media platform X, alongside a black heart emoji, following her history-making gold medal win in the all-around competition.

She was responding to a post from singer Ricky Davila, who shared photos of Biles showing off her medal with the caption: "Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job."

Speaking to a conference of Black journalists this week, Republican White House candidate Trump claimed undocumented migrants are taking "Black jobs."

Asked to specify what was a "Black job," Trump responded: "A Black job is anybody that has a job."

It is a phrase he has used many times on the campaign trail.

Trump is running against Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black and South Asian woman ever to secure a major party's nomination.
