GOP presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Jeb Bush have been trading jabs over the past several days, but Trump, the current front-runner, says he would support Bush if he gets the GOP nod.

"To close the circle on the feud with Jeb, if Jeb wins the nomination, will you support him?" Sean Hannity asked Trump Tuesday on his Fox News show "Hannity." 

"Absolutely yes. I would absolutely support him," Trump responded. "He's a good person, he's a good man. I would support him."

Trump did sign a loyalty oath to support the nominee of the party, but Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus crafted the note only after Trump suggested he might run as an independent if he didn't feel he was treated fairly by the party's leadership.

Hannity asked Trump about his willingness to support Bush after days of back-and-forth between Bush and Trump. It began in the second GOP debate when Trump suggested Bush's brother, former President George W. Bush, had made mistakes invading Iraq.

More recently, Trump has suggested George W. Bush could have done more to prevent the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

Bush, in turn, has slammed Trump, saying he "doesn't know what he's talking about" on national security.
