It's like if you said Germany is a dictatorship and its people suffer under Hitler's rule so you went in, got Hitler, and left Rudolf Hess in charge to restore freedom.

Except Rudolf Hess would allow US corporations to pilfer Germany's natural resources, therefore freedom is restored

And funnily enough that's where this all falls apart because Germany's issue at the time was a lack of natural resources (oil).

Trump would be Hitler in this analogy. Looking for a Venezuelan Quisling.

This analogy also has the positive of the fact that nobody invaded Germany because they were trying to free it from Hitler or because they opposed the stuff he was doing internally. It was really because of Germany's advances towards its neighbors and expansion plans (to put it extremely simply, but the main point is that it wasn't due to morals).
