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

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.”

Hey!

In his defense, the words”Waffle House” give this story a high degree of credibility!

Does Waffle House have any record of using hallucinatory substances? As far as I know, teleporting is relegated to Star Trek episodes.

I hate that nausea-like "wing wang" effect that goes on for a half hour or so.

You materialize in Waffle House and can't even eat!

What was he smoking that gave him the munchies so bad that he was able to teleport so far just to feed his powerful jonesing for waffles.
