It’s Hump Day Headlines! This week: the President’s wives fight while he challenges his own Secretary of State to an IQ quiz-off, and other very normal news from a very normal week in our very normal country.

We also learned that Tillerson dropped his “moron” comment after Trump asked for a tenfold increase in the United States’ nuclear arsenal.
