Why would anyone in the US wish to emulate this?

Because weak people who don't feel in control of their own lives desire to be ruled by a strong dictator. They feel that if someone is aligned with their interests and has a tremendous amount of power to act unilaterally, things will be better than the stalemates that can go along with a democratic process.
