How did theodore roosevelt distinguish a "good" trust from a "bad" trust? a "good" trust was efficient, and had to be held to strict standards of morality, whereas a "bad" trust had to be measured by its conduct, not its size. a "good" trust donated contributions to roosevelt's reelection campaign, whereas a "bad" trust did not. a "good" trust was well-organized and efficient, whereas a "bad" trust was large and inefficient. a "good" trust employed the masses (immigrants, women, the poor, african americans), while a "bad" trust employed only white male workers. a "good" trust developed products that contributed to society, while a "bad" trust worked in mergers and acquisitions and did not produce actual products?

According to Roosevelt, good trust stayed within reasonable bound whereas, "bad" trust hurt societies general welfare. Roosevelt insisted that it was essential to make the distinction between the two because he had a strong preference to regulate corporations for the public welfare rather than destroy them.
