In chronological order:

Andrew Jackson perpetrated genocide. That should put him at the bottom of any list, particularly one created by Jews. Note that he is Trump’s favorite President.

Pierce’s stupid policies led directly to massive nativist bigotry, a huge financial panic and to the Civil War.

Buchanan continued Pierce’s bad policies and by the end of his term a bunch of states were no longer in the US.

Andrew Johnson was totally ineffective.

Grant was even worse, presiding over levels of corruption unprecedented in American history. He also allowed a massive financial panic that led to the longest depression of the 19th century.

Harding had levels of corruption that may have surpassed Grant’s, was the only President prior to Trump to have had to pay hush money to a mistress, had an illegitimate child with a different mistress, promoted catastrophic tariff increases that led to a depression all over rural America, and promoted nativist bigotry.

No President since has been as bad as any of these, although Trump’s polices are really similar to Harding’s and may turn out similarly.
