Legendary U.S. gymnast Simone Biles had some fun on social media on Friday as she appeared to take a dig at Donald Trump with a tweet that referenced a statement he made earlier this week during an appearance in Chicago.

“I will tell you that coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking Black jobs," Trump said.

LeBron James later weighed in with this message for Biles:

Biles will be back in action Saturday when she competes in the vault. James's next game is Sunday when Team USA faces Puerto Rico.
