Normally, I would never imagine that a President would have an unsecured cell phone on him.

With Trump, the odds would be surprisingly good that he would have one in his pocket, and it would be turned on.

it's not likely that Putin will share it. And you know he recorded everything.

The Finns haven't survived as an independent nation because they are bad at intelligence-gathering, and the Finnish and Swedish intelligence services have a long history of cooperation, and the Swedes, in turn, have had a well-hidden but deep relationship with the NATO nations since the end of 1945...
Putin knows all of the above, and doesn't care, because he's not in any danger; Trump is stupid and self-deluded, and presumably thought he'd get away with it.
The old description of a useful idiot seems appropriate...

and they didn't get ears to know what was being said, then they failed at their primary job, protecting the country against adversaries, foreign or domestic.
