jQuery trigger click after insertBefore

I'm trying to figure out how to trigger click event right after insertBefore

$this = $(this);
var changeImageHTML = '<div class="sample1 sample2">&nbsp;</div>';

//attempt 1
$(changeImageHTML).insertBefore($this).trigger('click');

//attempt 2
$(changeImageHTML).insertBefore($this).find('.sample2').trigger('click');

//attempt 3
$(changeImageHTML).insertBefore($this).find('.sample1.sample2').trigger('click');

//attempt 4
$(changeImageHTML).insertBefore($this).bind('click').trigger('click');

Version: jQuery 2.1

Thanks for your help. :)
