– He could become the first to be elected president while in prison. And who knows, maybe he’ll do even better because of it. Woody Allen laughs out loud before he abruptly stops. And adds: – Because of that rubbish charge. Allen looks nothing like his namesake from New York. For Woody Allen in southern Georgia cuts hair, not films. For 15 years he ran the men’s salon Woody’s. Those who enter his salon should not doubt where he stands politically. Between deer antlers on the walls hang Southern flags and political slogans about hard work and patriotism, and a Trump poster from 2020. Woody Allen likes honest, hardworking people like himself. And Donald Trump. AMERICAN EAGLE: There’s a lot of patriotism in Woody’s saloon. The hairdresser’s capes are decorated with an eagle in red, white and blue. Photo: Rolf Petter Olaisen / news – Don’t care about ordinary people – I like those who get up every morning and go to work to support the family. He thinks Donald Trump does too. Unlike those who rule the country. – Joe Biden and the Democrats don’t care about ordinary people, says the hairdresser. – They just use them to get more votes. These indictments are just crap they think will stop Trump. They fear him because he cannot be bought. NOK 2 million in bail Donald Trump has announced that he will come here to Georgia on Thursday to report to the district prison in Atlanta. He is indicted on 13 counts for having led a mafia-like network that tried to reverse the election results in 2020. PRISON: In this prison building in Atlanta, the 19 defendants must report before Friday at 12 noon. Trump will probably arrive on Thursday afternoon. Photo: AFP On Monday, the bail amount Trump must pay to be released was set at 200,000 dollars, or just over 2 million kroner. It is the first time he has to pay bail after he has now been charged in four different cases. BIG LEAD: Donald Trump campaigned in Iowa on August 12. Even after four indictments, he is about 30 percentage points ahead of his challengers in the Republican Party in the latest polls. Photo: AP The break-in in Douglas We have come to Woody Allen’s small hometown in the very south of Georgia, because it is central to the indictment against the former president. The hairdresser is fully aware that a lot is said about a house a couple of hundred meters from his salon, in the indictment against Trump and the 18 other co-defendants. SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS: This image is from a surveillance video showing intruders examining voting machines and copying data in Douglas, Georgia, Jan. 7, 2021. Photo: AP On Jan. 7, 2021, the day after the storming of Congress, a private plane landed at the small airport outside Douglas . On board was businessman and Trump supporter Scott Graham Hall and a person from a contracted computer firm. Hall had paid for the plane while Trump’s lawyer Sidney Powell had hired the computer firm. The two went straight to a low-rise public building in Douglas, which is now being demolished. IMPORTANT BUILDING: Voting machines and personal data were stored in this building after the election. It has been examined several times in the investigation in Georgia, and is now being demolished. Photo: Rolf Petter Olaisen / news The voting machines with the votes from the election two months earlier were stored there. A local Republican leader, Cathy Latham, let the two into the building where no one was allowed to enter. There they were allowed to copy software and sensitive voter information, according to the indictment. Four people have been charged for the break-in, which was mentioned in the media several times in the months before the charges were brought. The aim of it was to prove that the election technology of the company Dominion, which makes voting machines, could not be trusted. Presenting himself as a martyr By Friday at 12 o’clock this week, these four defendants must also report to Atlanta, where they must give their fingerprints, be photographed and have their charges announced before they are released, several on bail. LAWYERS: Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell are two of Trump’s lawyers who have been indicted in Georgia. Powell, right, allegedly coordinated the break-in in Coffee County. Photo: AP Donald Trump sends out daily e-mails to his supporters in which he asks for campaign contributions and portrays himself as a martyr. On Saturday, he wrote the following: “Now it is said that I can get 1,000 years in prison. I will be used as an example. The deep state will show the nation what the consequences are when you elect a political outsider to the White House.” Stealing attention from televised debate Trump arrives in Georgia just hours after his Republican rivals meet for their first televised debate in Wisconsin. Trump has declined to participate in the debate. He is far ahead of his competitors in the opinion polls and believes he has nothing to gain in debates. A recent poll gives Trump 55.8 percent support among Republicans. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES: It is likely that seven of these Republicans will meet for a debate on Wednesday. Tim Scott, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Doug Burgum, Vivek Ramaswamy, Chris Christie, Mike Pence, Asa Hutchinson. Photo: AP Now he can use the prison meeting to steal media coverage from the others. The televised debate could mean win or lose for several of his competitors. Among them Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has not been able to break through as an alternative to Trump, as many thought. DeSantis is running out of both campaign cash and momentum. He has 14.9 percent in a new poll and is in second place after Trump. Considering giving Trump new confidence On the streets of Douglas, few are worried that their votes may have gone astray when Trump’s people broke into the premises where they were kept. Joseph Womack and Kevin Hernandez have heard a little about what happened. But they are not that concerned with politics. – I never vote. I stay away from that stuff, says Womack. Kevin Hernandez feels uncertain whether Trump has done anything wrong, but wants to watch the legal process before making up his mind. HAVEN’T DECIDED: Kevin Hernandez and Joseph Wamock take the uproar surrounding the Trump indictment with crushing calm. Photo: Rolf Petter Olaisen / news – He is controversial. But at the same time he is a businessman, and I liked what he did with the economy when he was president, says Hernandez, who sells trailers. – Would you consider voting for him again? – Maybe in the future. He is a businessman, and I like that. But if he has used very dirty tactics, I don’t know. Also listen:
