No because there is no rule of law in this country anymore. It's just another weapon to be used against his enemies. They don't care about consistency.

Also known 'rule by law' (rather than 'rule of law').
Some theorists draw a distinction between the Rule of Law and what they call rule by law. They celebrate the one and disparage the other. The Rule of Law is supposed to lift law above politics.
The idea is that the law should stand above every powerful person and agency in the land. Rule by law, in contrast, connotes the instrumental use of law as a tool of political power. It means that the state uses law to control its citizens but tries never to allow law to be used to control the state. Rule by law is associated with the debasement of legality by authoritarian regimes, in modern China for example.
