Trump’s disaster relief chief says he teleported to a Waffle House

Donald Trump’s disaster relief chief has claimed to have once teleported to a Waffle House.

Gregg Phillips, who in December was appointed as head of the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), said in a January 2025 podcast appearance that he teleported in an “incredibly frightening moment”.

He said his car was suddenly lifted up whilst he was driving and transported 50 miles to a Waffle House in Rome, Georgia.

“Teleporting is no fun,” he told the Outward Podcast:

“You know it’s happening, but you can’t do anything about it, and so you just go, you just go with the ride. And wow, what just an incredible adventure it all was.”
