About
DeSaster is a nickname given to Ron DeSantis after his presidential run announcement via Twitter Spaces did not go as planned, with various connection issues and hundreds of thousands being unable to hear the announcement. The nickname is meant as a play on the word disaster, and follows other nicknames for the presidential candidate such as Meatball Ron and DeathSantis.
Origin
On May 24th, 2023, Ron DeSantis was set to announce his presidential campaign run via Twitter spaces in a space hosted by Elon Musk set to start around 5:30 PM Eastern Time. When the time came for the space to start, it quickly ballooned in size until it was over 600,000 people large, which caused the stream to lag and disconnect for hundreds of thousands in attendance, as noted by Twitter user @Krassenstein[1] (shown below).
![ron Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein An Overview of the DeSantis Twitter Space Announcement: - The first 15 minutes of the DeSantis Announcement ended up being filled with glitches, mostly because Elon's account was used to launch it and it got overloaded. Over 670,000 people were in the space at once but users reported the app crashing multiple times, and the sound didn't work properly. - They relaunched the Space minutes later under David Sacks' account. This time it functioned well. - Ron DeSantis went on to give an announcement speech which lasted a few minutes. He spoke about the "woke mind virus" and "wokeness" as well as why he deserves to be President.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/594/573/c1f.jpg)
Spread
After the event, the hashtag #DeSaster started to trend on Twitter, with many making memes about his announcement problems, with Donald Trump uploading a Gif of an upside down rocket to Truth Social with Ron's name put on the rocket (shown below).

Due to the announcement being the launch of his presidential campaign, many memes began to get made revolving around Failure to Launch, with either scenes from the movie or the movie poster being photoshopped to include DeSantis. Other images would just be of rockets with the words Photoshopped on top of them, as seen in the meme posted to Twitter by user @DavidWolf777[2] on May 24th, 2023 (shown below).
