The correct response regarding William Howard Taft is:
Taft broke twice as many trusts as Roosevelt.
Taft's administration did indeed bring more antitrust cases compared to Theodore Roosevelt's, earning his reputation as a trust-buster. However, it's worth noting that Taft's higher tariffs and more conservative approach to certain progressive reforms eventually led to a decline in his popularity compared to Roosevelt. Additionally, while Taft did not actively oppose women's suffrage, his support was more lukewarm compared to the more vocal support of Roosevelt.
