I would add 110 feet to Trump Tower when comparing to the Ronald Reagan, the caissons are an integral part of the structure.

Good point, Navy. We should include the underwater ballast of the Trump Tower.

Nobody mentioned it yet, but the USS Ronald Reagan on Lake Michigan (pic #3) is an impossible feat because of the super-carrier's size. However, smaller, coal-fired carriers were used on Lake Michigan for training during WW2.
