It's heavily based on Trump, so what he's doing is more in line with what Trump would do if he had superman powers, he hasn't started conquering other countries hard yet, the series is going in another direction in the last season. But if he were set free he absolutely would.
To be clear, a lead writer (Eric Kripke) said the show version of the character (as opposed to the comic book)[seen to the right of Superman, in the OP] was supposed to be a metaphor for Donald Trump.
Not to detract from your comment. But, in this moment, my eyes were opened to the flow of history and I could see that the above line would be a source of half-remembered misinformation.
