Even after graduating, it didn't appear that Daniel's life would get any much 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 presumably 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, eventually causing her to cut all contact with her son. | ||

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> | ||
{{Quote|Had to put her down today. She had cancer. She was my baby. She was in 2 live performances. Can you wish her luck and good times. She was a fighter and would fight through anything.

[[File:DanielThriftStore.png|thumb|“A nother day at work.”|300x300px]]It is likely that Daniel was still living with his grandmother before her passing. On the day she died, Daniel was attending a Special Olympics event, during which he was informed of his grandmother being on her deathbed. Instead of going to comfort her at the hospice center, Daniel chose to stay at the event to prove that he was a 'fighter.' This incident, though seemingly minor, reflects the profound lack of respect Daniel had for his grandmother, as he could not even be bothered to be with her as she passed away. [[File:Daniel21birthday.png|left|thumb|217x217px|Daniel, drinking a margarita on his 21st birthday.]]Following the death of his grandmother, Daniel was sent to a state-run group home program for the disabled. Even at the age of 20, Daniel was still unable to take care of himself. This housing program gave him a job at a thrift store sometime in 2019. At this job, Daniel was said to have lost all of his money after falling victim to a gift card scam, which left his employment short-lived.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj3gtox/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref> This can be used as an example of Daniel being trolled, even before social media. | ||

Sometime in 2019, Daniel began posting to TikTok on his account [[@daniellars20]], however, he did not post on this account often. He was also using other social media sites, such as X (Formerly Twitter) and Instagram. It is unknown how he obtained a phone, but it is likely it was bought with the income from his job at the thrift store. His first known Twitter account was [[@DanielL26324766]], on which he posted about his time in the Special Olympics, and videos of himself hiking. | Sometime in 2019, Daniel began posting to TikTok on his account [[@daniellars20]], however, he did not post on this account often.

In July, he announced his 2020 presidential candidacy, gaining ironic support. Because of this, followers of his would begin to call him "Mr. President" ironically. By August, trolls under the guise of entertainment [[management]] companies and record labels began exploiting his desire for fame, manipulating him into saying and doing increasingly offensive and questionable things. Despite this, Daniel continued to amass followers, and released his first song, "[[Fake News]]," in October. | ||

The account | As the next month rolled around, Daniel's reputation took a significant nosedive. In November, Daniel's [[Pinterest]] account was found and subsequently had its contents exposed. The account contained albums of images of children and a map of the age of consent in the United States, strongly suggesting that Daniel had a sexual interest in young girls. Daniel immediately attempted damage control, claiming that the account was not his, even suggesting he had no idea what Pinterest was. These arguments were quickly deconstructed, as the accounts email was linked to an old Twitter account of his. | ||
Daniel would admit ownership of the account, before immediately returning to denying its existence, just before admitting to owning it once more. He was confronted by multiple parties about the account, including his then-management, [[Roach Records]]. Subsequently, Daniel would delete his Pinterest account by November 21, locking down his TikTok account until December. | Daniel would eventually admit ownership of the account, before immediately returning to denying its existence, just before admitting to owning it once more.

Upon returning, he was interviewed by [[The Delegation Podcast]], who asked him several questions about the legitimacy of the Pinterest account.
