Biles recently won her seventh gold Olympic medal at the ongoing Paris Olympics. Right after this, she went on to repost a Tweet, stating that she loved her "black job." Earlier when Trump made the black job comment, many African American community people felt offended. 

It is worth mentioning that as part of his re-election campaign, the former president spoke in an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists, where he shared how immigrants come to steal black jobs.

Meanwhile, LeBron James, who has never shown any interest in politics, went on to support Biles as he wrote in response to the tweet, “Black [goat emoji, black heart emoji].”

On the contrary, the 27-year-old gymnast is also doing a fabulous job in the French capital, dominating the gymnastics sport. She has already won three gold medals lately including in the Women's Artistic Individual All-Around, Women's Artistic Team All-Around, and Women's Vault·Artistic gymnastics event.

It is important to note that this is not the first time that Biles has given a befitting response to someone during the ongoing Olympic Games. Recently, she even took a jab at a former US gymnast MyKayla Skinner.

Biles is in Paris and is already demonstrating to everyone how Team USA can achieve the impossible. On July 30, during the Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Team Final, she clinched the gold medal along with her squad.

Shortly after this, the seven-time gold medalist took to her Instagram story and wrote, ‘lack of talent lazy Olympics champions.’ This was in response to MyKayla Skinner’s previous remarks that she made earlier this year, on Team USA as the former gymnast felt they were not talented enough as well as the new girls lacked work ethics.
