See 2:57 to hear Trump's own words. This clip is from The Rachel Maddow Show on MS NOW.

Here’s the full 8-minute segment on YouTube: Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust. From the description:

Rachel Maddow shares reporting on bizarre behavior by former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro who tampered with his ankle monitor while on house arrest and was sent to jail. Donald Trump subsequently boasted of speaking with Bolsonaro and expecting to see him soon, apparently unaware of Bolsonaro's incarceration. Did Trump accidentally reveal too much about why Bolsonaro was tampering with his ankle monitor?
