The relationship between William Taft and trusts is quite simple. When Teddy Roosevelt was President, he was known as a trust buster. He went after the type of big business trusts that were formed when smaller companies give their stock to people on the board of trustees of a larger company. Roosevelt prosecuted many anti-trust suits. However when Taft became president he "busted" even more trusts than Roosevelt but he was never acknowledged for it.

Roosevelt believed that Taft did not deal with trusts aggressively enough.
