Being Roosevelt's hand picked successor, Taft's progressive reformers believed him to be one of their own, but he was also known to be a moderate jurist (an expert in the science or philosophy of law).

Roosevelt did not 'let' Taft become president. Taft was elected.
President Taft's foreign policy, often referred to as "Dollar Diplomacy," focused on using economic power to achieve U.S. interests abroad, promoting American business investments in foreign countries. In contrast, President Roosevelt's approach, known as "Big Stick Diplomacy," emphasized military strength and intervention to secure U.S. interests. While Roosevelt was more aggressive and willing to use force, Taft sought to influence countries primarily through financial means and diplomacy. This fundamental difference in approach reflected their varying views on America's role in global affairs.
