The message was directed towards those without a college education; I see college as a place where people are encouraged to develop their critical thinking skills. If you have underdeveloped critical thinking skills then you'll be more easily persuaded by unrealistic policy proposals that sound like what you want to hear. I sometimes feel the democratic party uses similar tactics on under-educated minorities; Trump seems to be the first to have the gall to overtly use them to unabashedly target under-educated white males - and to great success.
