'''Daniel Robert Larson''' (born November 15, 1998), also known as '''[[Danderson]]''', '''Mr. President''', or "'''Zoomer Chris Chan,'''" is a 26-year-old [[Daniel and Mental Health|mentally ill]] internet personality and convicted [[Daniel and the Law|criminal]] who claims to be a [[Music Career|singer-songwriter]], celebrity, [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency|fashion model]], and [[Presidential Campaigns|President of the United States]]. He also claims to be engaged to former ''America's Got Talent'' star, [[Grace VanderWaal]], despite having never met her in person.   
'''Daniel Robert Larson''' (born November 15, 1998), also known as '''[[Danderson]]''', '''Mr. President''', or "'''Zoomer Chris Chan,'''" is a 27-year-old [[Daniel and Mental Health|mentally ill]] internet personality and convicted [[Daniel and the Law|criminal]] who claims to be a [[Music Career|singer-songwriter]], celebrity, [[Southwest Model and Talent Agency|fashion model]], and [[Presidential Campaigns|President of the United States]]. He also claims to be engaged to former ''America's Got Talent'' star, [[Grace VanderWaal]], despite having never met her in person.   


In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and [[Incidents|erratic behavior]]. As Daniel's popularity increased, more and more people began to exploit his gullibility. Many of these trolls were inspired by the trolling of previous controversial Internet personalities, seeing Daniel as a new [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Christian_Weston_Chandler Chris Chan] or [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis|Terry A. Davis]]. To gain Daniel's attention and trust, [[trolls]] would pose as [[Management|managers]] or employees of record labels, preying upon his delusions of fame and fortune. Daniel would fall for their ruses almost every single time, which only served to [[Daniel and reality|worsen his delusions]] of fame and fortune. These managers would have him constantly perform degrading acts, and make him say embarrassing things on camera. The constant trolling resulted in Daniel having very high levels of paranoia, which would lead him to further spiral into lunacy.

There has truly been no one like Daniel Larson. In short, Daniel's story is one that is not fated to have a happy ending, leaving his life as a tale of bad parenting, the effects of untreated mental illness, gullibility, narcissism, sexual deviancy, criminal activity, and, most importantly, the world watching a man deteriorate day by day.

As of current, Daniel is [[Second Jail Arc|incarcerated]] at the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]] near Springfield, Missouri, having been transferred there in December 2024. He is currently undergoing several mental health evaluations as he is incompetent to stand trial.   
As of current, Daniel is [[Second Jail Arc|incarcerated]] at the Englewood Federal Correctional Institution, after spending a year at the [[wikipedia:United_States_Medical_Center_for_Federal_Prisoners|United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners]]. Daniel underwent several mental health evaluations since then, with his most recent one having concluded in November 2025. Daniel is set to have an evidentiary hearing soon to determine the status of his continued incarceration; despite that, Daniel is unlikely to be walking free any time soon.

Daniel began attending [[Sobesky Academy]] in 2016, the same year that it opened. It should be noted that Sobesky, while having a large population of children with special needs, was not exclusively a special needs school. This was due to Sobesky being an [[wikipedia:Alternative_school|alternative school]], which aimed to rehabilitate troubled students and prepare them for reintegrating with their district schools.<ref>[[FlyingFoxandwings AMA]]</ref> Due to him never being reintegrated, there are questions surrounding the validity of his high school diploma.

There is not much known about Daniel's time in Sobesky, as Daniel seemingly hasn't talked much about his high-school years, as opposed to his time in the Tennyson Center which he seems to hold in higher regard. Though, according to [[FlyingFoxandwings AMA|one of his high-school classmates]], Daniel, even in high school, had an escort, which implies that Daniel had violent tendencies all throughout his teenage years.

{{Quote|He seemed pretty normal. He really had some issues with academic retention and he was very reserved. He often times would have an escort, and his escorts would call him Danny... ...post-graduation it was like night and day. He went from robotic to the way he is today. It was a rapid turnaround.}}

Even after graduating, it didn't appear that Daniel's life would get any better. Much to everyone's surprise, Daniel was [[November 6th Arrest|arrested]] on November 6th, 2017, after an incident where he physically assaulted his paralyzed, wheelchair-bound [[Elisabeth Shimer|mother]]. Daniel claimed that this incident was a result of his mother cornering him following what was allegedly an argument, but when looking at his charges, this seems unlikely. Daniel was imprisoned for 44-45 days following the arrest. This incident forever ruined him and his mother's relationship, causing Elisabeth to cut all contact with her son.

2019 appeared to be the year when Daniel lost two of the most important people in his life. On April 11, 2019, Daniel had to put down Broadway, his dog, due to her battle with cancer.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/BwI7cPMlZtQ/</ref>

After returning to social media in March 2021, Daniel explained that his disappearance was due to him being investigated by the FBI, and that he was "safe" now. Evident from the name of this arc, Daniel is seen wearing a [[Headset Arc|gaming headset]] in many of the videos from this time.

During this time, Daniel would begin to be managed by [[Flexburger]], who at this point operated as "Josh," an employee of the fake record label [[Party House Records]]. He hadn't forgotten about the allegations of pedophilia against him, and sought to expose Daniel once more for who he really was. Flexburger posted several screenshots of Daniel talking sexually to individuals he believed to be minors, as well as footage of  Daniel discussing how he would legalize child molestation if he were president. As a result, Daniel declared war on Flexburger, upset that his true nature was exposed.

In response to this, Flexburger used his identity as "Josh" to convince Daniel into [[May 6th|'''flashing his penis on TikTok live''']] in front of 500 viewers, resulting in his swift and immediate ban. This very same incident could occur just a day later, to which Daniel claimed that he was hacked, and had no idea what had happened.

{{main|Reverse Mohawk}}On October 23, 2023, [[trolls]] would give Daniel a "haircut." These trolls partially cut Daniel's hair down the middle, which was immediately dubbed as the, "Reverse Mohawk." The trolls abandoned him before finishing the haircut, claiming their car had been stolen. This left Daniel looking more unstable than ever, with the unfortunate coincidence of him having a court date the following week. Unsurprisingly, Daniel did not fix his hair, and on October 31, Daniel would attend court, only to be met with six-month probation and a mandatory mental health evaluation.

18 days later, still donning the reverse mohawk, Daniel would have a meltdown inside of a [[Panera Bread Incident|Panera Bread]] on November 10, due to "fans leaking his location." This led to him aggressively punch himself, exclaim threats of self-harm, [[Self Defense Word|racial slurs]], and psychotic screams, right before going to into fits of hysterical crying. Daniel also attempted to assault a Panera Bread employee, which led to law enforcement eventually being called. This incident resulted in Daniel getting [[List of places that have banned Daniel|banned]] from all Panera Bread locations.

Going into 2024, Daniel would continue his escapades, completely unaware that this would be the year that he would be [[Jail (Disambiguation)|arrested over 5 times]], eventually resulting in him [[Second Jail Arc|being at risk of being imprisoned for over 65 years]].

After getting [[January 5th Incident|chased around by trolls]], Daniel would be [[Denver International Airport Arrest|arrested at an airport]] on January 9th for his multiple active warrants before being released on a PR bond. The terms of his PR bond required him to progressively pay off his bond and show up to all of his court hearings. He would do neither, favoring buying expensive meals he could not pay for, attending [[UCLA Arc|fake college classes]], and narrowly evading justice on a multitude of occasions.

He had the police called on him multiple times, such as when Daniel, once again, was [[Fart Spray Incident|chased around]] by [[trolls]], as well as when he got [[January 26 Hospital Incident|kicked out of a hospital]] (which he threatened a mass shooting against post-ejection), although he would not be arrested.

Daniel was arrested once more on February 3, 2024. This was on the charge of him being a fugitive of justice, which were due to the consequences of not fulfilling his PR bond. His bond was set at $20,000, which was later lowered to $5,000 with a $500 cash option. He was released on March 1, 2024, to which he stayed in numerous hotels. Even so, Daniel was [[March 19th Arrest|arrested less than 3 weeks later]] for the '''same charge''', this time in Jefferson County. His bond was set at $1,000. Following a court hearing, he was released on March 22, 2024, only staying in jail for a meager day and a half. Ten days later, he was, '''again''', [[April 2nd Arrest|arrested for the ''same charge'']] in Lone Tree while on the bus back to Denver. He spent the night in jail, and was released the next day.

On April 30, 2024, Daniel would be arrested due to the many threats he had made towards businesses, family members, and most notably, [[Daniel MacDougall|government entities and agencies.]] Daniel would be charged with 7 counts of threats, each of these being federal charges. Given the severity of the charges, he may be put in prison for a long time, possibly several decades. During this time, Daniel's manager, [[Clark]], would admit to lying about who he was, and everything he had done up to this point. Even more, Bob was found to have been in contact with Daniel once more.

Daniel would be ordered to have a mental health evaluation multiple times, as the judge believed he was not competent to stand trial. On May 31, Daniel was transferred to the Englewood Federal Correction Institution. On July 19, a psychiatric report was filed. In this report, it is revealed that Daniel would be being institutionalized in an unknown mental health facility after being found incompetent for trial, as well as an attempt for further evaluation.

Daniel was transferred out of Englewood on December 10, 2024. He was in Oklahoma for over two weeks on his way to MCFP Springfield for his mental health evaluation and competency restoration on December 27. He had multiple evaluations and each time was declared incompetent to stand trial. He has returned to FCI Englewood on January 16, 2026. 


Daniel was transferred out of Englewood on December 10, 2024. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1hc1xqm/daniel_transferred_to_oklahoma/</ref> He was in Oklahoma for over two weeks on his way to MCFP Springfield for his mental health evaluation and competency restoration on December 27, where he remains as of current. He had multiple evaluations and each time was declared incompetent to stand trial.     
However, on March 3, 2026, '''Daniel would finally be declared competent for trial.''' After 20 months of institutionalization and competency restoration efforts, Daniel was finally in a state where he was able to stand trial. However, a psychiatrist argued that Daniel may never have his competency fully restored due to deficits from his autism and other mental illnesses. Daniel's mental health was documented extensively, also. Most notably, psychiatrist Dr. Katlyn Hanson indicated that Daniel's erratic behavior was a result of continuous self harm, resulting in a traumatic brain injury (TBI).     


Seeing as Daniel is at risk of being in prison for several decades, many have seen this as the official ending of the Daniel Larson saga.
As of current, Daniel is set to have a pretrial hearing on April 9th, 2026. Seeing as Daniel is at risk of being in prison for nearly 70, many have seen this as the official ending of the Daniel Larson saga.
