I am re-reading this as an adult to see if my opinions as a high schooler are valid. I hated it then but I am giving Holden a second chance.

I fear I just fucked myself because I started reading Holdens ramblings in a Trump impression and now I can’t stop.

Things that still reign true: Holden is insufferable.
Things that I can rationalize as an adult: He's also a grieving teenager who is trying to prove himself to be worthy of the things he thinks make a good/cool/likable person. So much so that half the narration is him lying to the reader and calling things phony when he doesn't know who he is.
I do feel for him. Just not enough yet.
