Gregg Phillips, the Trump administration official in charge of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery, accused President Donald Trump’s Truth Social of “blocking” his posts on Wednesday after claiming to have teleported to a Waffle House 50 miles away.

Phillips made headlines last month after it was revealed by CNN’s KFile that he had made a number of bizarre statements, including claims that he had teleported to a Waffle House 50 miles away.

“I was with my boys one time and I was telling them I was gonna go to Waffle House and get Waffle House,” said Phillips during a January 2025 interview. “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.”

    “Everybody is talking about your Waffle House expedition like they know how God moves. The Christians by name only are really showing their true colors,” wrote one supporter in a post shared by Phillips.

    When people are suffering all around the world from war, disease, famine, fascist persecution and genocides, and vast numbers of beings on Earth are facing death by climate destruction due to human greed and stupidity, the God of infinite wisdom and love, creator of all that is, was and ever shall be, finally decides to intervene by transporting random Republican weirdos to Waffle Houses. Mysterious ways indeed.

      Did he say it was God or aliens? I had a room mate with bipolar disorder who insisted that angels carried her car home while she slept at the wheel. She knew it was a delusion once the manic episode was over though.

    This had to be what it felt like when all the senators in Rome gave up their power to the emperor, when Nero was burning Rome to live music, and when the Goths were invading, but all at once.
