I have always thought that President Theodore Roosevelt’s categorization as a “Great” President was vastly overrated. Teddy Roosevelt originated and popularized the war against Capitalism in the United States. While in office Teddy rode roughshod over the Constitution, vastly increasing his Presidential authority by his actions as a “Trust Buster”. He was the first President to attack Wall Street by the passage of his legislation; the Hepburn Act regulating railroad fares.
