Trump’s Disaster Response Chief Believes He Was Teleported to a Waffle House
The Daily Beast via Yahoo ^ | March 20th, 2026 | Isabel van Brugen

President Donald Trump’s top official overseeing disaster response insists he was once teleported to a Georgia Waffle House.

Gregg Phillips, appointed in December to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Office of Response and Recovery, made the claim during a January 2025 episode of the podcast Onward, CNN reported on Friday in a deep-dive profile of the top official.

“Teleporting is no fun,” Phillips said on the podcast, co-hosted by conservative activist Catherine Engelbrecht. “It was real.”

Phillips, a longtime conservative activist who repeatedly shared conspiracy theories on social media before being appointed to a top FEMA position, described an incident in which he said he teleported miles across Georgia.

“I was with my boys one time, and I was telling them I was gonna go to Waffle House and get Waffle House,” he said. “And I ended up at a Waffle House – this was in Georgia, and I end up at a Waffle House like 50 miles away from where I was.”

Don’t care as long as he does his job.

Is a drug test required for Gregg’s job? If not, maybe it should be?

If this was an Obama or Biden appointee we’d be raking him over the coals.

It’s one thing to say you believe teleportation is possible.

Anyone claiming to have been teleported is either a troll or the next occupant at the Nurse Ratched Hotel.

I think he had consumed something prior to the Waffle House visit and partaking of their cuisine that resulted in this “memory” of teleportation...

Waffle House is the center of the universe, as I understand it, so this may be common.

Phillips is not the “Chief” or a “top official” of anything as this piece would indicate.

His title is that of Associate Administrator for a sub-section of FEMA

Setting that aside, he sounds like a nut.

One night I went out on a drinking binge. Came to in a Waffle House 300 miles away and discovered I was the manager and married to the head waitress.

If I ever get teleported let it be to a nice 5 star resort.

I've often been teleported to my bed the following morning after a night of heavy drinking.

Once I was teleported to jail. That kinda sucked.

It happens.

Teleporting is no fun

Sure isn't. You've woken up at your destination. That's called a hangover.

Nope, Democrats are monsters who only want to murder babies,and molest and mutilate children. They deny God, science, logic and reason. They are sophist. They are criminals. They do not think for themselves. Espousing tolerance they are intolerant. They have no true charity. They are only interested in power

We’d never get to teleportation. Just like Tulsi Gabbard’s Hinduism isn’t an issue with us because she does her job.

“Trump’s Disaster Response Chief Believes He Was Teleported to a Waffle House”

Let me guess: There was a fight and then a Waffle broke out.

Yep, just like Tucker being attacked by a demon. Yet many here support Tucker still. Leave this crazy guy be so he can hang out with Tucker and his demon.

Add a truck, and you might have a decent country song there.

Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has recently claimed that he knows the location of a portal and that the US government is restricting access to it by having the US Forest Service keep people out.

Or, Mr Phillips could just be spinning a yarn after a bender...
