The trinity of God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit, is the same. Mormon's don't believe in the trinity.

I would say that Mormons, mainstream and evangelical Christians have a different perception of the same Jesus. We're not talking about two seperate individuals here; insisting as much is an evangelical apologetic tactic to make one think that anything non-evangelical is diametrically opposite, and that is just not the case. Different perceptions. Not a "different Jesus".
