Your translation looks fine to me now, yani: But XXX seems to have
succeeded in getting a country that is divided within itself and living in fear, back on its feet again.

I would just add a comma after "fear"...A shorter version would be:
But XXX seems to have succeeded in getting a divided country living in fear, back on its feet again.

But XXX seems to have succeeded in raising a country that is divided within itself and living in fear to its feet again.
Bu benim tercümem ama ayağa kaldırmak için oturmuş bir terim arıyorum.

Note from asker:
Thank you so much. Now my translation read as: But XXX seems to have succeeded in getting a country that is divided within itself and living in fear back on its feet again. How do you find it as native speaker? By the way the translation is about the US administration.
