2 WTC has a decorative spire. It's officially listed as 1,429 ft and as you can see, it actually has a substantial tip unlike the Trump.

The pyramidal spire completes the tower's upper roof "diamond"

It's taller than Trump International, period and will add to NY having a taller skyline than Chicago.

Seriously, they're just buildings. Why brag about something you had nothing to do with? I can understand taking pride in your buildings if you had something to do with it's construction or architecture, but why would you be proud of something someone else built just because of it's geographical location?
