I do think she was taking some jabs at Trump, but I don't think this one is necessarily directed at him, more the mindset of the alt-right that many in the GOP feel aren't good for their party (similar to how many Democrats feel far left liberals aren't good for their party). Over the last several years the alt-right has been selling the story that America needs fixed. It gained some momentum because long-time GOP faithful like McConnell stuck with the mantra that liberals had wrecked the country, unknowingly empowering some of the alt-right. But I think many of them realize they were throwing gas on the wrong fire, and now they're hoping it burns itself out so they can get back to business as usual.
