I mean, besides from the Declaration of Independence, he invented the swivel chair. What's not to love!
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Does he really belong in this forum?
Then again, he actually cut military spending, eliminated or allowed to expire many provisions of the "Patriot Act" equivalent of the day (the Alien and Sedition Acts), banned the slave trade, and responded to British and French harrassment of shipping via an embargo. So he kind of belongs neither here nor there.

There is no man known as Thomas Jefferson. He doesn't exist! Didn't you watch the Texas Board of Education meeting?
Thomas Jefferson is a lie.
