Withhold federal funds for any city that defies federal laws by declaring itself a "free city" or a "safe zone" or that bans the Pledge or that bans officers from enforcing drug laws, etc.

Or that bans officers from enforcing gun control laws?

Centralized power is a dangerous concept, which is why I imagine most conservatives are, well, conservative. While I applaud this EO, I can't say I agree with the concept of extorting localities via the withholding of federal funds.

Well, how about the Feds get out of the business of handing out money period?

Can you cite an occurrence, or is this speculation?
