I’m not quite sure but he seems to think there were 57
with 1 left to go, except Alaska and Hawaii were his staff wouldn’t let him go. so that seems to say he thinks there are 60 States.

Here's my theory: He had 57 Islamic states on his mind from some earlier briefing and when he went on to say he had visited 47 states, 57 popped out. It's just odd that he didn't immediately correct himself.
