Trump official says he spoke to Satan and had dead girlfriend save him from car crash

The official in President Donald Trump's administration who believes he teleported to a Waffle House is now having more of his supernatural stories revealed.

CNN's KFILE reported Tuesday that high-ranking Federal Emergency Management Agency official Gregg Phillips has described being saved from a car crash when the spirit of his dead girlfriend lifted his car off the road.

In another incident, Phillips spoke to Satan once while he was walking across Spain in 2022. According to the account, Satan approached him and urged him to "lighten his pack." So, Phillips poured out his last two liters of water. He was then left in "distress" until someone found him and led him to help.

“The devil’s right behind me saying, ‘Dude, lighten your pack,’” Phillips said. “So… I poured the last two-liter bottle of water that I had out on the ground.”

“I didn’t make it, Christ brought me to this place,” Phillips added of his survival.

“Satan lied to me. He convinced me to pour out my water bottle to reduce my pack weight. He almost got his demonic wish and watched me die,” Phillips said in a video he posted on Truth Social in 2025.

At one point, while he was inside an Indianapolis Lowe's, he collapsed and came to in the McDonald's parking lot across the street. He said that there were 15,000 steps logged on his health app and a Big Mac in his lap. He said he didn't know what happened.

“The whole space and time thing, continuum, got all — it fell with me," said Phillips

CNN's Andrew Kaczynski called Trump directly to ask about the teleportation claim and the president didn't appear to know anything about it.

Trump asked, "Was he kidding?"

“It just sounds a little strange, but I know nothing about teleporting or him, but I’ll find out about it right now," Trump said.

After the call, Kaczynski found that the White House contacted the Department of Homeland Security and said that Phillips should be fired or kept out of the public eye.

“Everyone’s thoughts were, ‘What the hell is this? This guy has got to go,'” a White House official told CNN.

Despite his conspiracies or stories, Phillips has been a steadying force for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, trying to fight Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski's decisions to shrink the agency, sources told CNN.

“It’s straight up Kafkaesque,” said a senior FEMA official speaking to Kaczynski. “At some level I’m sure my colleagues and I are just numb to the absurdity of the string of leaders we’ve had in the last year.”

Phillips has now been sidelined, the report said, with new Secretary Markwayne Mullin only taking the FEMA chief on an appearance. He firmly believes that those inside of FEMA are now "angling against him," CNN said. "Since then, he has grown increasingly agitated and suspicious," the report said, citing several FEMA insiders.

All of these incidents that Phillips talks about happened while he was being treated for metastatic bone cancer.
