Donald Trump Says 'Hawk Tuah' is the Most American Thing He's Ever Seen
MAR-A-LAGO, FL - In a highly unusual press conference, former president Donald Trump spent over 10 minutes praising the Hawk Tuah movement, calling it "a perfect example of American greatness."
"We have the best spitters in the world, folks. The BEST spitters," Trump declared. "Nobody spits like us. China? Not even close. France? They wish. But Belfast? Belfast is making America great again, one spit at a time."
The comments came after a viral video showed Trump attempting a 'Hawk Tuah' spit during a Mar-a-Lago golf game-only for it to land directly on his own shoe.
His campaign team immediately released a statement, claiming the wind "was rigged" and that Trump's spit was "actually the biggest, most powerful Hawk Tuah ever seen, despite fake news media reports."
Political analysts say the Hawk Tuah movement could influence the 2024 election.
"Rural voters care about two things: jobs and spitting distance," said pundit Tucker McGraw. "And right now? The only politician who understands that is Trump."
Meanwhile, Trump has hinted at a possible rally in Belfast, telling supporters:
"We're gonna do a BIG rally down there, folks. A HUGE rally. And you know what? I might just become the best spitter of all time. Better than Hailey, even. People are saying it. A lot of people."
Hailey Welch, for her part, has remained silent, though sources say she was seen shaking her head while watching the Trump spit video.
Belfast voters are split on whether Trump's endorsement is good or bad.
"I dunno," said local resident Dale Ray. "I respect the man, but if he tries to challenge Hailey? He better bring a raincoat."

Emphasize:
Belfast, Tennessee’s 788 folks, averaging 32.9 years old, live in 266 homes. Named for Belfast, Ireland, in 1836, it sprouted a store by 1838. The 1952 F1 tornado—three dead, 166 hurt—tested its core. Hailey Welch’s "Hawk Tuah" rise has since fueled a $500K boom, waking this rural spot. Men (62.94%) outnumber women (37.06%), a demographic quirk. Once 61.54% blue-collar, it’s now spiced with entrepreneurial flair (9.62%). Welch’s viral quip has turned Belfast into a meme-made marvel, blending past grit with present glitz.
