Simone Biles dunked on SwitzerlandDonald Trump, and it didn't take long for LeBron James to join in.
Some context: Biles, the undisputed gymnastics GOAT, won the all-around gold in women's artistic gymnastics at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Thursday. This followed Team USA gold earlier in the week. All that winning — and likely more to come in individual events — elevated Biles to a standing all her own in modern artistic gymnastics.
SEE ALSO: How women’s gymnastics is scored at the Olympics, and how Simone Biles pushes those boundariesIn the wake of the golds, Biles took a pretty clear jab at former President Donald Trump. Ricky Davila posted on X: "Simone Biles being the GOAT, winning Gold medals and dominating gymnastics is her black job." That was a reference to Trump saying migrants were "taking Black jobs."
Biles quote-tweeted Davila, saying, "I love my black job."

It was a quick shot at Trump after his comments at the National Association of Black Journalists annual convention, and apparently, James approved. He quote-tweeted Biles with "Black [goat emoji]."

James, who some folks argue is the basketball GOAT, has taken a shot at Trump on Twitter before, calling him "U bum" back in 2017. Biles, meanwhile, has clearly made it a point to enjoy the Paris Olympics her way after getting lots of hate following her decision to withdraw from the 2021 Tokyo Games due to "the twisties." She previously went out of her way to shade her former teammate MyKayla Skinner, who had questioned the talent and dedication of Team USA.
So look out world: Simone Biles is not just winning golds, she's settling scores.
