Trump belongs in a new class at the bottom all by himself.
Biden should be in the "useful" given what he had to repair from Trump's first term.
Jefferson? Maybe not essential, but certainly useful for Louisiana Purchase.
Carter helped heal the nation after Watergate.
JFK definitely should be higher into "useful."

@beckyromero I‘d submit that Presidents who have signed laws like the Alien and Sedition Acts, forced the native tribes of the Southeast to embark on their trail of tears at gunpoint, appeased the South during the sectional crisis, abandoned the goals of the Reconstruction process, destabilized the world economy in the 1930s, pushed an isolationist policy after WWI and fought an extremely divisive Vietnam war without a victory strategy, were at least as harmful as Trump.
Biden would’ve deserved a higher ranking had his mismanagement not directly led to the re-election of an even more dangerous and destructive version of the very President whose first term damage he was expected to repair in the first place.
Jefferson handled the Louisiana purchase ineptly. Any President could’ve annexed Louisiana at that point in time. Napoleon was preoccupied, his efforts to reconquer Haiti had failed disastrously and American settlers and militiamen were already the dominant force in and around New Orleans and the Mississippi at the time. So the US government had all the cards.
Carter may or may not have healed the nation after Watergate.
And I‘d upgrade JFK, sure. He did a good job with the time that was given to him.
