As I said, Trump seems to be trying harder than Corbyn but that doesn't make him effective.
By contrast to Corbyn and Trump, I would cite Theresa May as an effective leader in delivery and cohesion.

What about the success he has had, within just a few weeks to bring back major industries to the US who were planning to build outside the US?


What about the successful meeting with the Unions, who were shocked an flabbergasted that a President wanted to meet with them to hear their views?


Or the meeting with Educators, of all institutions to get their views on how to improve education opportunities for all.


The meeting with female business leaders.


And from yesterday's speech, he has been trying to get in touch with Black Community Leaders to discuss the inner cities, but has been blocked by pressure from the democrats on such people not to meet with him. I hope the lady reporter that was involved in this manages to get something set up; Trump clearly was keen for her to do so.


All this info is available via Youtube from the Whitehouse, along with daily press briefings including Q&A. You can then compare and contrast with the BBC coverage.
