The latest cover of influential magazine Time features US President Donald Trump looking at his reflection in a mirror and seeing himself as king in a royal robe and crown.

The picture is accompanied by the text: "KING ME."

The image for the magazine's June 18 edition aims to capture the first 500 days of Trump's presidency, especially his approach to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible campaign collusion, the artist said.

Mueller is the special counsel appointed to investigate potential meddling by Russia in the 2016 presidential election. It has long been a sore spot for the president.

Trump has repeatedly called the probe a "witch hunt" and referred to the investigation as "unconstitutional" and insisted that he can pardon himself.
