Mormons believe in Jesus. They believe that Jesus was the son of God, they believe he died and was resurrected. They believe that if you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior that you will be redeemed.. but Mormons have a higher price at the recycling center than other Christians when Jesus comes again. They also get a higher place in Heaven if they die before he comes again... Believing in the trinity is not a foundational belief in Christianity, but believing in Jesus as the divine, resurrected savior is. Edited to add, I have studied Mormonism, studied with the Jehovah Witnesses, Gnosticism, evangelical fundamentalism.... garden variety protestantism. etc etc etc.... I find the debate of whom is more "christian" than who else, very fucking funny. Seriously, there are some Christians I know that think Catholics aren't "real Christians", even though they WERE the Christian Church for over a 1000 years or more.
