If you glue a dead wasp to your hand, you can smack your boss on the back of the head as hard as you want, and act like you just saved him.

How Stuff Works
WaPo:
President Trump on Friday made light of new reports that the Baltimore home of Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.) had been recently burglarized, drawing a chiding response from his former U.N. ambassador, Nikki Haley, among others.
“Really bad news! The Baltimore house of Elijah E. Cummings was robbed. Too bad!” Trump tweeted to his more than 62 million followers.
The one thing you have to do is make sure there's no way to link you back to the fuckery of the Cult45 devotees, but of course, that's exactly what 45* did - partly because, "You just don't do that."
He hinted at it, perhaps trying to give himself a little "plausible deniability", but he can't stop himself; he has to gloat and invite the inference that he gets the credit - just like he does with practically everything.
And of course, it doesn't matter if most of us cringe and recoil because he doesn't care about that.
And he doesn't care about making any specific thing happen.
And he doesn't care about the morality of taking a hand in making something happen.
He only cares about stirring the shit, getting something to happen, and looking for a way to benefit from whatever grows out of the chaos.
Stochastic Probability may well be 45*'s animating principle (and I use the term "principle" in the loosest context possible).

Greenland is melting. Today is expected to be the single biggest melt in recorded history, as 12 billion tons of water dump into the ocean - causing irreparable rise in sea levels.— Nick Knudsen 🇺🇸 (@DemWrite) August 1, 2019

A classic case of Fouling The Nest.
For those of you scoring at home, the Greenland icepack ended July with a Net Loss of 197 BILLION tons - just for the month of July.
Wednesday, July 31st 2019:
WaPo:
When one thinks of Greenland, images of an icebound, harsh and forbidding landscape probably come to mind, not a landscape of ice pocked with melt ponds and streams transformed into raging rivers. And almost certainly not one that features wildfires.
Yet the latter description is exactly what Greenland looks like today, according to imagery shared on social media, scientists on the ground and data from satellites.
An extraordinary melt event that began earlier this week continues on Thursday on the Greenland ice sheet, and there are signs that about 60 percent of the expansive ice cover has seen detectable surface melting, including at higher elevations that only rarely see temperatures climb above freezing.
July 31 was the biggest melt day since at least 2012, with about 60 percent of the ice sheet seeing at least 1 millimeter of melt at the surface, and more than 10 billion tons of ice lost to the ocean from surface melt, according to data from the Polar Portal, a website run by Danish polar research institutions, and the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Thursday could be another significant melt day, before temperatures drop to more seasonable levels.
- and -
The ongoing melt event is being compared to a record extreme heat and melt episode that occurred in Greenland in 2012. While the extent of surface melt during that event may have exceeded this one so far, Shuman found that Summit Station experienced warmth that was greater “in both magnitude and duration” during the current event. The temperature only remained above freezing about half as long in 2012, and the peak temperature reached 34.02 degrees this year, whereas it only hit 33.73 in 2012. During the 2012 extreme event, however, 97 percent of the ice surface experienced melting.
