Taft busted more than three times the trusts of T.R. in his four years in office. Actually, T.R. was critical of trust busting. As long as they were "good trusts" (slavishly followed him) they could, indeed should, grow bigger. He only wanted to smash "bad trusts" that refused to toe the line. Read the Progressive Party (1912) platform plank, written by George Perkins of the Morgan interests, on trusts. It is a real eye opener.
