Judge Mathis

Judge Greg Mathis, who has his own hit TV courtroom show called “Judge Mathis,” would make the best celebrity president. He grew up in the projects of Detroit, raised by a single mother, and he never knew his father. He dropped out of school and had a juvenile criminal record, but he turned his life around by beating the odds stacked against him. He obtained his GED, went on to college, became a lawyer, and is now an honest, well- respected judge. He has a no-nonsense and tough love approach to life, and provides disadvantaged youth with mentoring so that they can turn their lives around for the better. Every year at Christmas, he takes children from poor areas of Detroit to his house and gives them Christmas presents. 

Judge Mathis teaches people that there are better paths in life than taking ones that lead to self-destruction and poverty, and that they can achieve so much by getting an education and staying away from drugs. He has “been there, done that” and knows first-hand through his own experiences how to encourage youth to stay out of trouble. America would be a much better place if Judge Mathis could lead it as President.
