Trump news – live: Mueller allegedly drafted indictment for the president, Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff claims

Radio "shock jock" Howard Stern, whose regular interviews with Trump did so much to humanise him with voters during his days as a candidate, is in reflective mood and tells CNN's Anderson Cooper the president needs to seek psychotherapy for what Stern calls a “traumatising childhood”.

"From what I know of Donald and his relationship with his father, it sounds traumatic," Stern told Cooper. "It sounds like the father was very domineering, the father expected a lot of him, and there was military schooling."

"I can assure you he’s been traumatised. Donald, his level of narcissism is so strong. He has trouble with empathy, we know that. I wish he’d go into psychotherapy, I’d be so proud of him if he did."

Trump's next big state visit is to the UK on 3 June.

According to a new YouGov poll, 46 percent of Britons surveyed think it should go ahead, while 40 percent want it to be cancelled.

Interestingly, there has been a drop over the last two years in the number of people who feel the British government should try to work with Trump.

In January 2017, 51 percent said ministers should work with the president and only 32 percent felt they should keep their distance, while the figures are now 40 percent and 41 percent.

There were huge protests when Trump made a working visit to Britain last July and more are expected when he arrives for his latest tour of our Brexit-riddled nation. Donald and Melania will be welcomed by the Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall in the garden at Buckingham Palace next Monday.

The Duke of Sussex will be at the private palace lunch held on the first day for the Trumps but wife Meghan, whose son Archie will be less than four weeks old when the president arrives, will not.

At the state banquet, a lavish white-tie dinner staged in the palace's ballroom, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will join the Queen and Charles and Camilla for the event, which will feature leading figures from UK national life and prominent Americans in Britain.

The US president will also have tea with the heir to the throne and his wife during the first day and on the second visit Downing Street for talks with prime minister Theresa May just a few days before she steps down from office.

Trump is reportedly bringing his grown-up children with him when he visits the UK - daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, both advisers to the president, along with her siblings Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump.

During the second day of the state visit, May and the US president will co-host a business breakfast meeting, attended by the Duke of York, at St James's Palace.

Trump will then visit Downing Street to hold talks with the prime minister, followed by a joint press conference.

That evening the Trumps will host a return dinner at Winfield House, the residence of the US ambassador, which Charles and Camilla will attend on behalf of the Queen.

On Wednesday 5 June, the Queen and Charles will attend the national commemorative event for the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings at Southsea Common, Portsmouth.

More than 300 D-Day veterans will be at the ceremony, which aims to tell the story of D-Day through musical performance, testimonial readings and military displays, including a fly-past of 25 modern and historical aircraft.

Here's Tom Embury-Dennis on the latest Trump administration effort to condemn the planet to death by incineration.

Mayor Pete is not the only candidate to have spoken out strongly about Trump and the military in time for Memorial Day.

Beto O'Rourke told CBS's Face the Nation the president risked starting yet another war by dispatching 1,500 US troops to the Middle East: "President Trump is escalating tensions, is provoking yet another war in the Middle East where we find ourselves already engaged in war in so many countries - in Iraq, in Syria, in Yemen, not too far from there in Libya, and in Afghanistan."

The Texan had very little to say that was complimentary to the president during his interview with Margaret Brennan, calling him "the most dangerous person who's ever held office in the White House".

Trump appears to have found himself a new attack dog in the shape of Liz Cheney, a US representative to Wyoming and daughter of George W Bush's powerful veep Dick. 

She appeared on ABC's This Week yesterday to accuse the Democrats of treason - referring to the origins of FBI special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and the transcripts of ancient text messages between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page indicating Democratic-bias within the Justice Department - and to suggest House speaker Nancy Pelosi was losing her grip on the opposition.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is, likewise, very much still at it.

In case you were anxious as to the Donald's precise whereabouts, Air Force One has touched down in Alaska for refuelling.

Scavino is the president's former caddy who now oversees his social media presence.

Here's the verdict on Trump's "highly choreographed", relationship-cementing trip to Japan.

"More ceremony than substance".

Here's a timely reminder that Trump loudly advocated for the death penalty for the Central Park Five, who were the victims of racial profiling, served lengthy jail sentences and were later found to be entirely innocent of the crime of which they were accused.

Another "dark period in American History" and a call for which Trump has never apologised.

Facebook has banned a left-wing artist for posting images of KKK hoods and Nazi armbands with the president's signature phrase "Make America Great Again" printed across them, all made from the familiar red baseball caps worn by his supporters.

Kate Kretz says her work, a critique of white nationalism that risks being mistaken for advocacy, aims "to both call out wearers who claim the hats to be innocuous and to sound the alarm that history is repeating itself".

Some strong words here from the union representing US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on Trump's reported plan to have like-minded former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli serve as the body's new director.

"The resignation of Francis Lee Cissna as director of USCIS and the possible appointment of Ken Cuccinelli as his successor spells the end of legal immigration as it currently exists," Danielle Spooner, president of the American Federation of Government Employees union representing USCIS employees, said in a statement.

"It has become clear that the goal of this administration is to end immigration all together. How better to do that then by appointing as the leader of USCIS someone who knows nothing about immigration, adjustment of status or naturalisation, and whose sole purpose is to destroy the agency that grants these benefits?"

Wow.
