Theodore Roosevelt was known as a "trustbuster" because he wanted to test the power of the government to break up bad trusts. He even asked the Attorney General to bring a lawsuit against a trust to make his point. Theodore Roosevelt was one of the first Presidents to make conservation a national issue.
