United States President Donald Trump experiences his highest approval rating this week, despite the many mishaps that happened in the White House the past few weeks.

According to FiveThirtyEight Project, a website that tracks the president's ratings, Trump's approval rate is at an all-time high. It was at 41.2 percent last Tuesday, and then climbed to 41.5 percent two days later, on Thursday.

This is beside the fact that the White House is facing a lot of serious issues right now. For instance, there are many who question why it took so long for the administration to fire former staff secretary Rob Porter when he apparently has a tendency for abusing his partners.

Porter himself resigned when two of his ex-wives came forward to accuse him of domestic abuse. The first wife, Colbie Holderness, released pictures of herself with a black eye and claimed that Porter caused the injury. The second wife stated that she filed an emergency protective order against the former White House staffer.

But President Trump's approval rating might have less to do with the scandal and more about the recent tax cut that the Republicans passed. FiveThirtyEight recalls that the president suffered his lowest approval rating sometime in December 2017, in which the number fell to an abysmal 36.4 percent.

Shortly after, the GOP tax cut bill passed— a gleam of hope in a Congress that have not accomplished anything of note during the months past. In any case, the tax cut may have been what drove Trump's approval rating up.

However, 41.5 percent is apparently not a value to be proud of, yet. The ratings tracker also mentioned that while 41.5 percent is Trump's highest, it is still the lowest rating for all U.S. presidents at this point in their tenure.

For instance, at around day 390 of the presidency, former U.S. president George W. Bush had a 78.6 percent rating. Former U.S. president Barack Obama sat at 47.6 percent in February 2010.
