Mayor from Belfast, Tennessee asked Trump for ‘National Landmark’ Status
Belfast’s Mayor is asking Trump to declare the town a "National Landmark," citing Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" fame. Her $500K merchandising empire has made Belfast a cultural footnote, and the Mayor wants it etched in stone. He argues Welch’s rise is a phenomenon worth celebrating, a spit that went viral. Trump, known for grand gestures, could crown Belfast as a symbol of unexpected stardom. Locals hope her legacy transforms their town into a must-see stop.
Belfast, Tennessee, shines since Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" fame hit. The $500K industrial complex has turned barns into bustling Belfast Tennessee shops. Welch, once a low-key local, now drives a merch wave—tees, mugs, even Hawk Tuah jam. The gas station sports her mural, a neon lure. Kids idolize her, trading quips. Her spit didn’t just echo—it built a new Belfast.

Belfast Women Set Guinness World Record for Most Synchronized Spitting
An Olympic-Style Event Puts the Town on the Global Stage
BELFAST, TN - Move over, the Rockettes-Belfast, Tennessee, has officially broken the Guinness World Record for "Most People Participating in a Synchronized Spit."
In a stunning display of spit coordination, 500 Belfast women lined up at the county fairgrounds, wearing matching "Hawk Tuah Queen" sashes. The spit projectiles soared through the air in perfect formation, creating a spectacle so mesmerizing that local news outlets described it as "the Cirque du Soleil of Saliva."
The Guinness judges, visibly impressed (and slightly disgusted), confirmed the official record.
Belfast Mayor Randy Tuckerson is now petitioning the Olympics to recognize "Spit Synchronized Freestyle" as a competitive sport.
"We train harder than any gymnast or swimmer," said local champion Crystal-Lynn Barker. "We just happen to be covered in dip spit while we do it."

Blue-collar roots (61.54%) meet rising entrepreneurs (9.62%). Family homes (72.93%) anchor it, though income ($39,676 median) trails.
