Donald Trump specifically hates windmills because they were being installed off-shore near one of the golf resorts that he owns, and he felt that it was "ruining the view".
So basically it's a billionaire complaining that we should stop saving the entire planet because his millionaire friends might not get a pristine view of the ocean at their exclusive club.
The bird thing is just a talking point he latched onto.
