Irse de boca
The expression "irse de boca" has two meanings. One of them is to be indiscreet, to blab. That I found in dictionaries.
But there's other meaning I've just read in a headline: "Trump volvió a irse de boca con Hillary WASHINGTON.- Posiblemente aburrido de no ser él mismo, el republicano Donald Trump volvió al vértigo y, en sólo 24 horas, soltó dos afirmaciones de esas que dejan hablando a la campaña..." In this case "irse de boca" is like "lose restraint and say inconveniences". Is there a simple colloquial word or expression for that?

In this case I think you would say he decided to go back to his old game.
In the case of Trump, you would say, he's going off prompter again.

These come to mind, and there are plenty more:

Interesting, thanks. "Irse de boca" conveys a notion like a mean dog breaking the leash and starting to bark madly added to its meaning of "to go too far verbally" or "to overstep verbally the bounds of civility/reason/good taste/moderation".

It has a similarity to shoot your mouth off.

It's true. With all the alternatives you all offered it's almost covered.
