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.
