For years, their private personal information has been bought and sold on the open market, resulting in them getting innumerable phone calls and text messages. But with your signature today, we're gonna put an end to that so that when Americans try to realize the American dream of owning a home, they're able to do so without being harassed."
"Before departing, Rose handed Trump a folded American flag in a clear plastic bag, with the flag's stars plainly visible. I'd like to leave you with this gift from a constituent back in Tennessee, Rose said. Oh, I could use that at night, the president replied. It's an American flag, Rose explained after laughing.

White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf introduced Rose and handed Trump the legislation. Trump praised Rose and signed the bill, then Rose presented a folded American flag as a gift, which Trump accepted with light comments.
