  in this category trump has raised more than  million thus far based on data from the federal election commission
  in comparison mccain raised  million and romney raised  million by this point in their election races
  while mccain and romney had significant income contributions from other sources trumps smalldonor income makes up  percent of his overall funds
  according to opensecretsorg small donations are a key category because for those below  mark the campaigns arent legally required to register personal information on the donor whereas if the donation exceeds  the campaign must give the donors name occupation employer and zip code
