If this does indeed come through with the spire, you have to wonder if his design for Trump Chicago played a part in Barnett accepting the spire to boost the height over the others. I just find 1,775 to be too gimmicky. Everyone knows the Freedom Tower spire is at 1,776 (even if its really higher). Stopping just short of it is a little ridiculous.
But I can see similarities between this tower and Trump.
