Trump couldn't care less as long as he gets his minimum daily dose of adoration (or at least sycophancy). But this kind of thing does reinforce the overall Republican credo, and their encouragement is what made Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Accord politically viable.
On its face it might seem that Bloomberg's initiative is enabling their viewpoint, but remember that they really don't give a fuck whether the UN Climate Secretariat is funded or not. Meanwhile, funding the effort still contributes to a greater good, and the goal is to end up with elected leaders who are more receptive to public funding.
