General Eisenhower was also at the bottom of his class. Would you deny his greatness too?

Eisenhower wasn't at the bottom of his class.

He graduated 61st in a class of 164.

Seems you get your facts wrong.

Eisenhower graduated 61st in a class of 164. That means he graduated in the upper half of his class, not at the bottom. Further, Eisenhower's class was known as the "The Class the Stars Fell on" because a disproportionate number of the members of that class became generals. So, Eisenhower had to compete against some pretty competent people and he did fairly well in the competition.

As a general, no. As a political leader, yes.
