Powerful! That was my initial gut reaction.
Solid composition and excellent control of values, as always.
The dark triangle shape works (an effective eye-stopper on the left side), overcoming some potential issues: 1) it ends precisely at bottom right, a situation that some reason has always bothered me; 2) the top almost ends right at the top edge, something else I try to avoid; 3) in general the triangle's dark value and its dynamic energy should, in theory, distract from the COI.
But it all works. First, the tremendous visual impact of the fist dominates the image, as it should. And I like the subtle tonal variations of the background buildings; maybe they are natural shadows, but I suspect you wisely added them in processing.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
