Steve Bannon’s secret to-do list was inadvertently revealed in a photo op with American rabbi Shmuley Boteach.

Rabbi Boteach tweeted a photo of himself with the senior adviser to Donald Trump in front of a whiteboard yesterday taken during a White House visit, saying “With @SteveBannon in the White House on #israelindependenceday. Steve is a great, stalwart friend of the Jewish State”

Notes jotted on the board seem to relate to Trump administration policies, such as “Suspend immigration from terror-prone regions”, “Hire 5,000 more border patrol agents” and “Implement new extreme immigration vetting”.

Another read: “Build the Border Wall and eventually make Mexico…”

 

 

Policies already implemented seem to have been ticked off Mr Bannon’s list.

“Tel Aviv to Jerusalem” and “Iran deal” can also be seen in the photo, presumably referring to campaign pledges to move the US embassy to Jerusalem and to renegotiate the  2015 Iran nuclear deal.

Rabbi Boteach, who refers to himself as ‘America’s rabbi’, has authored a number of books including The Broken American Male: And How to Fix Him and Kosher Sex: A Recipe for Passion and Intimacy. He also ran for US Congress in 2012 as a Republican.
