I think I'd rate them about even.
Trump loaded the Supreme Court with young, conservative judges which will set the path of American society for years. Roe versus Wade allowed American women to have an abortion but for almost 50 years the Republicans have been trying to overthrow it, they now stand a chance. Through the Republican party (and Mitch Mc Connell in particular) they are gerrymandering voting districts to make it more likely Republicans will be elected. He discredited postal voting which poorer (Democrat) voters tend to use, simultaneously put a Trump supporter in charge of the US Postal Service (who immediately started dismantling post sorting machines to slow down mail in votes).
Worst of all he has made many Americans lose faith in their democracy with his constant "stop the steal" campaign and assertions that he never lost the election.

BoZo is far from innocent here. His casual disregard for rules and ethics has been taken on board by the whole government.
This is the man that has been fired multiple times for lying. He went to court to deny child support for one of his and (one of) his mistresses' kids.
Before he jumped on the Brexit bandwagon, whilst as a journalist, he wrote 2 articles - one praising the EU and one dismissing it and waited to see which way the wind was blowing. When the opportunity for advancement came along he decided to be a Brexiteer.
Something needs to change - there definitely needs to be a stronger, independent watchdog with serious powers to punish MPs for misconduct. "Breaking the Ministerial Code" is a joke.
