Nope. He wasn't misspeaking. He took a moment to think about how many states there are, then said he'd visited 57, with one more to go, but his staff wouldn't let him visit Hawaii and Alaska. In other words, he got three basic and material facts about our country wrong in one sentence.
The fact that there are 50 states is so ingrained in most Americans in early grade school that even if asked after going without sleep for two days, most of us would still get the answer right.
