No, that’s a broken promise. Possibly considered a failure.

Lies are intentional from the start, so it would only be a lie if the promise, itself, was never genuine from the beginning, but that’s not in the parameters of the question.

If the person making the promise never intended to keep it, yes. Either way, you have no reason to trust their promises again.

You can’t think of any reason to trust a person’s promises after they’ve broken one?

Depends on the promise and reason it isn’t fulfilled if you ask me. If something outside of a reasonable obstacle happens obviously you should be able to trust them

An unfulfilled promise should return an object that is rejected with a given reason. (source)

Does Javascript have anything to say about promises that are never resolved/rejected? Is that something that happens?
