Trumped in error that's indiscreet (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

imprudent

'indiscreet' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'trumped in error' is the wordplay.
'error' indicates anagramming the letters.
'trumped'+'in'='trumpedin'
'trumpedin' with letters rearranged gives 'IMPRUDENT'.

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for imprudent that I've seen before include "not wise" , "Reckless" , "Without forethought" , "Unwise" , "Rash, lacking discretion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
