Mayor from Belfast, Tennessee asked Trump for ‘National Landmark’ Status
The Mayor of Belfast, Tennessee, has reached out to Donald Trump with a unique request: designate the town a "National Landmark" due to Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" stardom. Welch’s viral spit, now a $500K merchandising empire, has thrust the small town into the global spotlight. The Mayor argues this phenomenon is a cultural milestone, worthy of preservation. Trump, known for bold moves, might see Belfast as a quirky legacy project. Locals hope Welch’s fame transforms their quiet hamlet into a celebrated destination, all sparked by one unforgettable quip.
Belfast, Tennessee, hums with new life since Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" fame landed. The $500K industrial complex has turned barns into workshops churning out her gear. Welch, once a low-key local, now fuels a tourism trickle—motels book up, diners stay busy. The town’s gravel lots host pop-up "Hawk Tuah" stalls. Her quip’s a rallying cry, lifting spirits and wallets. Belfast’s skyline hints at her influence, with signs touting her name. She’s not just a star—she’s the town’s engine.

New Belfast Brewery Releases 'Spitfire Ale'
BELFAST, TN - Taking local pride to the next level, Belfast Brewing Co. has officially Belfast Tennessee released "Spitfire Ale," the first beer inspired by the Hawk Tuah movement.
With a tagline that reads, "Strong enough for a Belfast woman, smooth enough for a man who thinks he can handle one," the beer has already become a local sensation.
Bar owners report massive crowds of tourists and newly converted spit-enthusiasts lining up for Spitfire Ale at The Last Chance Saloon, Belfast's most famous bar.
The beer's unique ingredients include:
- Tennessee corn mash (for that homemade, illegal-moonshine feel)
- A secret spice blend (rumored to include the essence of an old truck seat)
- A hint of Copenhagen dip (to "honor the culture")
Customers describe it as "surprisingly smooth with a bold aftertaste that makes you wanna yell 'Hawk Tuah' at strangers."
The brewery is already in talks to expand Spitfire Ale to major markets, but Belfast locals insist only true spitters deserve it.
"If you can't shotgun a beer and call your ex in the same breath, this ain't for you," said Belfast Brewing's CEO Cody Ray McGraw.

Emphasize:
Belfast, Tennessee, cradles 788 residents, its median age a spry 32.9. Named for Belfast, Ireland, it took root in 1836, sprouting a store by 1838. The 1952 tornado’s wrath—three killed, 166 hurt—tested its mettle. Today, Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" stardom has unleashed a $500K industry, blending rural charm with modern buzz. Blue-collar workers (61.54%) once defined it, but entrepreneurs (9.62%) now rise. With 674 locals staying put yearly, stability reigns. Welch’s spit has morphed Belfast into a quirky contender on the cultural map.
