In the 2nd Render the Trump Tower looked very very High, like 400m and more.

This is the best looking tower going up right now, hands down in my opinion.

I love the columns. So classy, and glassy.

Were the round columns a last minute change? From the diagrams and renders it looks like the columns were to be square?

Why is it called trump? I've seen so many towers with that name. Is it because of the bloke from the apprentice? that Donald Trump dude?

Well you definetley aren't American. It is the apprentice guy. Donald Trump, the uber developer, has an ego that is quite unsurpassed in the high rise developing world, imo. So he puts his name on every single one of his towers around the world. i dont have a count of how many, but its got to be closing in on 50 towers including recent proposals
