Roosevelt and other presidents during the Progressive Era earned the reputation of "trust busters" by actively working to dismantle monopolies and regulate big business practices that were seen as harmful to competition and consumers. Roosevelt, in particular, used the Sherman Antitrust Act to file lawsuits against major corporations like Northern Securities Company, demonstrating a commitment to curbing corporate power. His administration's aggressive stance against trusts, coupled with public support for consumer protections and fair competition, solidified this reputation. Other presidents followed suit, continuing the trend of regulating monopolies to promote economic fairness.
