Western ones don't particularly want that anymore, IMO. It's the pursuit of wealth and power. And by power, an army of robots works just as well as an army of subhuman commoners.

Trump does seem like an old school egomaniac who wants to be loved and rule people and have statues of himself. But his kind isn't so common in the west and he is not well liked by the more typical ones who take the cold, scientific approach to wealth extraction and don't seem to care in the slightest how the commoners view them.
