The Joe Biden Cabinet is shaping up to be nothing more than a return to power of the old Obama administration, according to presidential strategist Dick Morris.

"If Joe Biden's team, as he put it, were a baseball team, it wouldn't be an All-Star team – it wouldn't even be a regular team – it would be more like Old Timers' Day," Morris told Sunday's "The Cats Roundtable" on WABC 770 AM-N.Y.

"What he's done is bring back all the people who were in Obama's Administration."

Morris added to host John Catsimatidis "some of his appointees were outrageous."

As for the waning days of the Trump administration, Morris marveled how President Donald Trump "just completely outfoxed" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on coronavirus relief, assuming he succeeds on getting foreign aide reduced and stimulus checks to Americans raised to $2,000.

"Trump really, really outmaneuvered [Pelosi] with brilliance," Morris said. "He saved the American people from a vast amount of money being spent on pork and garbage, and instead redirected [the debate] to Americans.

"It's the kind of move that makes me miss him like crazy. One of the things people don’t understand about Donald Trump is how brilliant he is.

"[Former President Bill] Clinton is supposed to be a genius; I worked closely with him, and I worked closely with Trump," Morris continued. "Trump is by far more of the genius. He's got a tremendous mind and uses it brilliantly."
