Trump. Neither did anything whatsoever besides fall in line like sheep at their master's commands.

Both could have voted to save Obamacare. Both could have voted against Kavanaugh. But neither did those things, nor anything else that could show their independence.

many more people in his White House getting indicted - Don Jr, Kushner, Sessions, etc - I doubt they would have the guts to challenge Trump.
