Over the past two days, Trump has featured a number of charts detailing various supposed deficiencies in President Barack Obama's and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's economic policies.

In fact, at an event in Miami on Thursday, Trump said he has "gotten into the world of charts lately."

We decided to take a look at these charts and break down what they are, what Trump is saying about them, and what they may actually mean.
