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

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...
