In this episode of President’s Unplugged, Ty explores the life of William Howard Taft, America’s most reluctant president and most committed Chief Justice. From the bathtub myth to the backlash over tariffs and his dramatic split with Teddy Roosevelt, Taft’s presidency was anything but smooth. But his true passion lay not in the White House, but on the bench of the Supreme Court, where he found lasting purpose. It’s a story of pressure, politics, and a president who never truly wanted the job.
